Define "using" for me in that context. Not saying you were not part of the few places back then, just realize that most people don't understand how limited it was back then. I mean, it's possible you had a slow modem and terminal from home that connected you to "something" on ARPANET.... but, unusual. You're not the only person that dates back to "days of yore".

I will happily testify that the "pirate market" is the creation of all of those "copyright holders" who punish learners using DMCA to make legitimate backup copies of paid for, owned media via decryption a federal crime.

End the DMCA and we'll talk. Until then, you created the market, ensure that it grows and never goes away.

I'm all for supporting artists and those behind producing their works for consumption. But, the law you crafted makes me guilty of "paying you" so I can "commit federal crime". And that's ridiculous. You know what's safer? Pirating.
