the manner in which warez was traded on AOL

someone realized an AOL email box was free unlimited 1995 cloud storage, you just email the file to yourself with the file as an attachment

want to share the file? just forward the email. on AOL’s end they deduplicated the attachment so instant file transfer.

which then beget chat rooms where people ran file sharing bots that would simply forward you hundreds of emails full of files from their “archive”

that's somewhat similar to todays Google drive cloning. it just involves more accounts.

if you want to complain about something, complain about pci-e card locks. usually the video card is so big that you can't even reach down to disengage the lock.

thank god I'm not the only one who got problems if those.

my current technique involves chopsticks and a blood offering to the Noctua D14.

another thing that fucks up music artists money today is that they are getting railed by at least three corporate vampire entities.

while back in the day they got hosed by their labels controlling the numbers and running two books, with enough money and good lawyers you could force them to make concessions.

now you got the labels, the DSPs and LiveNation spitroasting you.
Good luck trying to audit Spotify or LiveNation not blacklisting you globally if you don’t play ball.
