Guys if you download LimeWire Pro with LimeWire you won't get viruses when downloading 'Akon_vs_Eminem(Rhianna)-Crawling.exe'.

Side note, everyone downloaded Techno Song.mp3 at one time or another. It was Sandstorm.

I did get music for free. But at the time internet was barely a concept were i lived (rural city in bumfuck nowhere) so my setup for getting free music was recording it from the radio to a cassette and then digitize it on a freak in-bay tape deck on my uncle's pc. So i could load it on a nomad jukebox i had somehow found for cheap at a flea market. (And no. I wasn't smart enough to plug the nomad straight into the radio and record)

I miss that hackery. I don't miss the abysmal audio quality

With that flow, those might have counted more as remixes than copies ;D
