I don't know if this meme is fully ironic, but kind of strange to think "torrenting" is considered the OG piracy method now.

It's old but it's not even close to the OG. I believe the OG is newsgroups, and after that was p2p file sharing apps like limewire and napster, and only then did torrenting become a big thing

Those were the times when my ISP, which was owned 100% by the city, had it's own newsgroups server full of warez lol
