Exactly, they’re partly infamous for suing Napster. Not sure why people now think they’re going to jump on a political bandwagon.

It’s good to have a cause that you believe in, but cancelling people just because they don’t want to be a platform for it is just trying to limit pluralism

I always think of the Napster stuff. I wonder how many kids even know what Napster is.

My husband and I were talking about how the internet was to our 8 year old a few weeks ago and now he “understands” what Napster, Limewire, and BitTorrent is 💀

Yeah but an 8 year old may not have much knowledge of it. Probably also shouldn't at that age but im not the parenting police

Oh for sure. I just meant that teaching an 8 year old about torrenting is still a useful skill, not a dead one

Really? It’s definitely been like 15-20 years since I tried to use it. I figured it was gone 🤣
