Like watching an old friend's corpse being defiled for profit

[-] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 46 points 10 months ago

Like watching Napster panhandling under an overpass.

[-] corus_kt@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago

Limewire and Napster peaked in high school

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

But at least MySpace Tom was their friend.

[-] theangryseal@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Oh come on. That guy would be friends with anyone! He was probably friends with like 600 Adolf Hitlers.

He was friends with Steve from high school and no one wanted to be Steve’s friend. He only posted pictures of the columbine shooters with captions like, “An hero, an marter. I will join u soon brave man.” His profile played like 10 Marilyn Manson songs at the same time. Guess who his friend was?

Tom.

TIL the gnutella network still exists. Brb, gonna download masterofpuppets.mp3.exe

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 32 points 10 months ago

Burn me a copy of that sick System of a Down Legend of Zelda song! Link, saddle up your horse!

I'VE COME TO SAVE

THE PRINCESS ZELDA

[-] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 10 months ago

Wait does this exist??

[-] Odo@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The song is here, but it's not by SoaD. It was often mislabeled on the various filesharing networks as being theirs.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

Much like virtually every parody or comedy song ever being attributed to Weird Al back then. He's talked about it before. He especially didn't like it when stuff that was really offensive- racist, sexist, etc. was attributed to him.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 10 months ago

Holy shit I had this back then and totally thought it was by SOAD.

[-] loutr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 10 months ago

Well yes, but actually no.

[-] elvith@feddit.de 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Well yes, but actually no... it's by Joe Pleiman and someone just uploaded it as SOAD - The Legend Of Zelda.mp3

Here's the song

[-] ZeroCool@slrpnk.net 5 points 10 months ago

I love Judas Priest!

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I think soulseek is the biggest one that works like this, but it's entirely dedicated to music.

[-] Emerald@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Yep soulseek is awesome, I'm sharing about 500gb of stuff there. There's more then just music there too, you can find movies and TV shows there that aren't on public trackers. Also... fonts

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

I remember I downloaded a jobro album and I double clicked it and it took me to a Japanese porn site

[-] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 38 points 10 months ago

Maybe in the future I really will get season 2 of Firefly from LimeWire

[-] Chickenslippers@lemmy.world 13 points 10 months ago

Huh the first episode starts zoomed I'm on a cup.

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 27 points 10 months ago

Well, at least you didn’t download a virus.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

Darude_Sandstorm.mp3.exe

[-] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 27 points 10 months ago

More buzzwords than an Indeed job description.

[-] hydrospanner@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Bandwidth.

Up-tempo.

Logistics.

Leverage.

Synergy.

Hold the line.

Ideate.

Takeaway.

[-] ExfilBravo@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

I loved downloading a song from Limewire and the band was labeled completely wrong. Then 10 years later I get made fun of for saying X band made Y song because I legit thought they made it because of Limewire.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago

I love listening to Twisted Sister's Come on Feel The Noise or Bob Marley's Don't Worry Be Happy.

[-] cafeinux@infosec.pub 1 points 10 months ago

When I listen to Friends will be Friends from Queen, in the back of my mind I'm still certain that's from Good Charlotte.

[-] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

oh, oh no.

[-] Stumblinbear@pawb.social 6 points 10 months ago

Neat

[-] 6mementomori@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

[-] hswolf@lemmy.world 48 points 10 months ago

rentry.org/firehawk52 is there to save you

[-] lapommedeterre@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

What's this?

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

LimeWire was a great way to get music for free back in the days. The Firehawk52 guide is a modern way of getting music for free.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

One of those services is still alive and kicking and perhaps even better than it was during the p2p audio hayday and I'm seeking within my soul for the bravery to tell others what it is.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago

Lmao

[-] Dehydrated@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I haven't had much luck with Soulseek, I prefer downloading from Deezer or Qobuz with the method described in the Firehawk52 guide. And they even let you download FLACs.

[-] aesthelete@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I get plenty of FLAC from there. I have issues downloading anything older than a year or two on torrent sites. But YMMV, and I think it depends somewhat on what type of music you listen to.

I too entered the twilight zone when I noticed something in my discord servers. I'm not in many servers, but I had subscribed in an AI image creation server called BlueWillow. So one day the icon was different, resembling a lime.... It took me a while to understand what's happening.
