The really stunning thing about music piracy was it was incredibly easy to do, and your entire catalogue could very easily be taken with you in your pocket and to new devices.

It’s a miracle we all decided streaming was worth it, they really did make it a better experience than pirating.

I mean now you don't even need your device anymore, the data is available from everyone's device.

I have yet to listen to all the music on my SD card in my phone. I will get around to it eventually.

After that I will test out Spotify.

I have an enormous music library on a USB drive in my car. Granted, most of the songs weren't pirated, they were ripped from thrift store CDs, but you can do the same thing with piracy
