Comment on What was the first thing "pirated" on the net? What was the first thing to be pirated off the net in the modern age?

  So do you claim that this is the earliest form of digital piracy? Because it’s not really piracy until you share the ripped files, and you say that people were “swapping them with others after floppy disks were a thing”.

  You are clearly mixing up the timeline here.

  What about the people who put wax on records and took it off and they could play that?

    Still a form of piracy, just not digital.

      Wouldn’t that be the answer to the second part?

        Is that what you meant by “off the net?” Cuz I thought you meant it as in “downloaded from” 🤣
