Comment on What happened to us Pirates? We used to sail the web and never even thought about reprecussions just sharing. Now it seems like it costs to be a pirate like a VPN and such. WTH happened?

  Fuck Metallica. I went to a handful of their shows back in time, but have refused to even listen to a song on the radio since the Napster bullshit.

    One of my proudest moments was climbing the fence to get into a Metallica concert for free.
    I pirated their live music.

    Their music sucks now, but I pirate and share it anyway. I don’t listen to it.

    Let me know when they sue Meta or Google for training models on their music.

  Lars Ulrich, the only Dane I never liked. Most Danes are agreeable but Lars had someone piss in his baby bottle and he never got over it.

      If he ever made a local appearance, as a fellow Dane I would ask why he was ruining the scenery by showing his face in such a beautiful part of the country. He’s not only a great example of why P2P is more than just people wanting free shit, he also made a pretty good case that money can’t buy happiness or talent
