how i wish i still were a teen, sigh. At the time i did it, there were only one platform to share, and that was the Kazaa (which i used, yes) network. There wasn´t any Rapidshare and the likes. Hell, eMule just started and the torrent network was still to come. But i almost always bought the stuff i considered a good investment and i used that exact excuse you mentioned earlier. Hell, i was lucky to have a 100€/200DM at that time, which is nothing right after school.
