First thing you ever pirated

[kaputnik]

If diskswapping counts; got Alleycat and Digger from my grandpa back in the days. I don't know exactly when, but I wasn't old :> And of course I pirated countless games for the C64.

My first downloaded warez must have been something from Obscene Phobia, one of the bigger BBS:es in the Stockholm area at the time. Got a free leech acc there from a friends older brother sometime in the beginning of the 90's.

Unbelievable, but when I was 5 years old, the former boyfriend of my aunt installed a snes emulator with a pirated copy of Super Mario World. I didn't knew it was pirated and all when I was this young, but 4 years ago i found out about emulating and was shocked when I saw the snes emulator, it was actually the one with what I played in my childhood.
But, the first thing I personally pirated was music i think, some songs via some bad tools, and some roms for gba. That was before I found out about rapidshare : )

 

[MelodieOctavia]

i copied several c64 tapes as a kid

Same here. I had turbo tape on a TDK C60 with a ton of games. I can't remember how old I was.

I moved on to 5-1/4 disks after that. I remember it was very easy to copy the disks. You had to cut a notch in the single sided disks to make them double sided. I can remember letting a friend copy wasteland on 4 disks for a copy of bards tale 1,2 & 3 which took about 8 disks. You also had to photo copy the code books as for some games like wasteland.

I also started dubbing tapes around 83' I think I was about 10 at the time. It was just the done thing and all of my sisters teenage friends had copies of god knows what and were more than willing to help out.

Things haven't changed much over the years, just the media and the methods.

Grandpa Simpson rant over.... You can wake up now.

 

[cracker]

Suuuuure... blame your sister's friends...

I think Cranky Kong is more like it...

 

[DunkrWunkah]

[Alex666]

[spruced]

An Android Lust cd, I knew nothing about pirating when I stumbled upon that site via Google. I thought I was pretty awesome for discovering it. /fails

 

[The Pi]

A song maybe I'm not sure.

I only buy stuff if it's worth the money which rarely happens.
I always buy Xbox games though cause I don't want to get banned.

 

[Ferrariman]

Boards of Canada - Music has the right to children. Probably in like 2006

 

[SonicRax]

The first thing I remember pirating was a ROM for Gunstar Super Heroes on the Game Boy Advance, back when it came out in Japan. Then a crapload of music, ISOs and ROMs as time passed.

... I'm a terrible person ._.
