ho didn’t download a song or a movie from a pirate site during the 2000s? At the time, it was difficult to find authorised sites: “illegitimate” platforms, such as Napster, dominated the digital field, and a lack of agreement between the parties concerned meant that concerted solutions were slow to emerge. For want of anything better, illegal downloading became the norm for the internet’s early adopters, as the most convenient way to access the content they wanted to consume. The pirates had set up their own ecosystem, and it was a lawless jungle.
