They had nothing i wanted and they wanted my money.
And there was illegeal downloading methods around and file sharing long before the likes of napster showed up.
We did this pre-internet, plus we never paid. I never did this stuff once I was over 18, because I had a feeling you might have to pay your bills at that point. Well, some of us do. ZING!
Maybe I shoulda been a deadbeat, because I have a pretty good "Well, I'm not paying so bye" shtick practiced. I remember when I was in gradschool someone hacked my ebay account and ordered multiple cars and other $10k things and one of the buyers called me and was like
"You bought a huge TV from me. Pay up!"
and I was all like
"Yeahhhh funny thing, someone hacked my account."
and he was like
"Oh no, you just don't want to pay because I see you bought 2 other TVs that are better than this one!"
and I was all like
"Well, I have $84 in my checking account, so best of luck with that."
