I remember downloading my first MP3 off of an FTP. I had to upload a bunch of crap (I think a few windows executables renamed as mp3s) to get my ratio high enough, and then about 2 hours to download one song. I was so happy to not have to pay the rich kids with the CD burner $20 for mix cds anymore.
Pirating music was always fun when you were hitting the moving target of the popular service at the time: FTP, Napster, Audiogalaxy, Morpheus, LimeWire, Torrents...
