Reading:
"Long before the internet changed everything and made downloading files instantaneous, software piracy was already operating at full steam. Except the network back then was entirely physical, relying on boxes, face-to-face meetings, and, above all, the floppy disk. In the 1980s and 1990s, if you wanted a program or a game without paying retail prices, you had to move data magnetically from one piece of plastic to another."
