I remember one day during the summer I stayed up all night on the family computer, and I clicked on to a porn site but the fricking popup windows bar had no X button (this was like early XP days when the internet was more wild west) so I had to wait until my oldest sister woke up and ask her to do it, so since that day she knew I watched porn
I went to the library to print something out for school and the computer next to me had the screen completely filled with pop-up’s. A middle aged guy came over and sat down, having just signed in for computer time, and started trying to close them. But for every window he closed, two or three popped up. He started to click more frantically, still standing there leaning over the computer. So the librarian comes over to see what’s going on and comes around the corner of the desk and sees the screen then loudly declares, “SIR! You cannot watch pornography on these computers!”
And the guy was trying to convince her it wasn’t his and he just got there. She did believe him eventually, but I did not help.
Devilish. Me any my friends would leave public computers on a website that when tried to use the computer would start opening pop-ups with gay porn and play an audio loop that said "Hey everybody, I'm looking at gay porno!". Was pretty funny seeing normies getting btfo.
i was a kid at the time and was on holiday in turkey and bought some dvds there, i already knew about kazza, bearshare and renting ps1 games from blockbuster to burn onto blank cds, basically just about convenience and impulse purchases cus they were cheap as frick
>buy a DVD for a back right there and then >waste time looking and downloading a worse version
zoomers are so fricking clueless LMAO well no wonder, since they and their time are utterly worthless
in the 2000s you would be downloading a fricking high quality quicktime mov file for 3 fricking days on your 56k modem. it would be easier to just go to the video sotre and rent the movie. To own it, yeah, it would be easier to go to the flea market and buy a bootleg from your local mexican. José had the hook-up
bootlegged movies were extremely popular in europe in the late 1990's
you could by any dvd for the equivalent of $1.
I brought back like 50 DVDs, unfortunately they all dried rotted after a few short years
I still have that one a hard drive somewhere, along with screeners for Charlie Wilson’s War, Enchanted, and a couple others I think. Also tons of porn. Tons. And a (at the time) complete series of futurama in black sleeveless dvd cases.
i was always afraid that my parents would get arrested for these dvds since they didnt put them in dvd cases and just kept them in the plastic sleeves they came with
We had a guy selling these bootlegs from his apartment, but by the year 2000 or so we already had our own DVD burner and pirated everything from Bearshare, Kazaa, etc.
>when your old ass ps1 started to get old so you had to put in another disc on top of the game disc and then flip the ps1 to run games
man those laser readers were shit
My chipped PS1 came in handy when I was on holiday in America and was able to buy games that I'd be able to play back home. Also all the cheap pirated games I could get for a fraction of the price.
there's still a guy that does this outside a liquor store near me. one night he gave me a couple dvds without me giving him anything but i never watched them
I so badly miss when you had to not be a moron or you’d brick your computer. It kept so many “undesirables” off the internet. It turns out it was in fact worth the hassle, because now the internet is moron proof and it’s terrible.
Sometimes those popup spawning windows would take you on a ride to CP town. So when your mom barges in and you have a bunch of horse porn open, it was likely better leaving them open instead of risking ending up with a screen of far worse stuff
My “uncle” had movies on unlabeled VHS tapes that were still in theaters. Somebody was getting to go in before or after opening and setting up cameras on tripods to film the movies while no one else was there. Yes, cameras. Plural.
Went to a specific local computer store. Gave them an empty harddrive and 50€.
Got it 2 days later back full with movies. Dvdrips, cam-recordings.
Was a nice time.
this is not something to be proud of. if your country had people on the streets blatantly breaking the law and everyone just turning a blind eye too it then you lived in a third world shithole lol
>Jews seethe about piracy because of all the shekels they lose (they don't) >But never mention the only reason they setup shop in California in the first place was so they could avoid paying shekels on movies themselves
I met a guy in the parking lot of my apt and got 300/apocalyptic and deju vu while that were all still in Theatres. 300 actually got me pussy a few times.
we had the same in Slavland in the 00s
I miss going to bootleg блoкbuster and getting bootleg VHSs like you shant believe.
>boomers too moronic to pirate back then
Internet piracy was already a thing then, morons.
lol wat
you know there was a time when there wasnt any internet, dont you?
in 2009?
>Milk
>released in 2008
>no internet
homie, I was literally downloading Academy screeners back then. Fricking hate zoomer morons so much.
this isn't about this specific picture, but rather the common sight of street sellers
morons

Why didn’t you just restart the computer you fricking moron

Plenty of people didn't have high speed internet in the mid 00s. Downloading a movie on a shit connection could take days.
Who cares about poors though
>contradicting yourself within two sentences
Yes anon…there was piracy back then…when boomers lived…

Most of Asia too. Had a college professor talk about how he'd buy camrip DVDs of American movies while he was in East & Southeast Asia.
>mid 00s
>go into a dodgy pub
>there's always a SEAsian trying to sell you porn DVD-Rs out of a plastic bag
Weren't these connected to oeganised crime? My parents got me a few, really hit & miss quality.
>Weren't these connected to oeganised crime?
I certainly hope so.
I watched this absolute dogshit on a DVD like that back in the day. I'm impressed I even managed to remember the name of it
I will always be proud to own a dvd of the X Men Origins Wolverine workprint. My most prized possession
I still have that one a hard drive somewhere, along with screeners for Charlie Wilson’s War, Enchanted, and a couple others I think. Also tons of porn. Tons. And a (at the time) complete series of futurama in black sleeveless dvd cases.
I've had 3-4 bootlegged dvd/vhs. The quality was absolute dogshit, not worth it. Not like rentals were expensive.
i was always afraid that my parents would get arrested for these dvds since they didnt put them in dvd cases and just kept them in the plastic sleeves they came with
... Why are there a bunch of DVDs on the ground and why is that guy stepping on them?
Those are the covers so people know which movies he has, dumdum
We had a guy selling these bootlegs from his apartment, but by the year 2000 or so we already had our own DVD burner and pirated everything from Bearshare, Kazaa, etc.
I've never bought pirated shit off a street vendor.
Lmao, who does that?
It used to be a thing, people would chip your PS1 for you and sell copied games too. It was a different time
I still have my chipmodded PS1.
>when your old ass ps1 started to get old so you had to put in another disc on top of the game disc and then flip the ps1 to run games
man those laser readers were shit

I miss these guys, they were always really nice
there's still a guy that does this outside a liquor store near me. one night he gave me a couple dvds without me giving him anything but i never watched them
It was cp anyways
didn't even know captain planet had dvd release, cool!
>ON THE SIDEWALK, RIGHT NEXT TO A LIQUOR STORE
The last time I saw these guys is when I went to go see Man of Steel at a theater in NY.
Maybe it's because I completely infected the computer, but I remember flash game sites having advertisements of literal cp on it.

Any oldgays remember the VHS bootlegs? I can only imagine what fricking autist would carry one or those video cameras in a movie theater
My “uncle” had movies on unlabeled VHS tapes that were still in theaters. Somebody was getting to go in before or after opening and setting up cameras on tripods to film the movies while no one else was there. Yes, cameras. Plural.
your uncle also probably had illegal shit on tape too
Probably. He was kind of a shady guy.
One year he had “too good of a year” and that’s why my dad got a $2,500 check from my aunt.
Sounds like a bro
I remember an unwatchable vhs pirated copy of israeliteel of the Nile. In the 80s.
Went to a specific local computer store. Gave them an empty harddrive and 50€.
Got it 2 days later back full with movies. Dvdrips, cam-recordings.
Was a nice time.
i watched a cam rip of man of steel like this. that shit looked like trash
>go to the theater with my camera to record latest hit to sell on the streets
>the audience is all black
I didnt live in the hood so for me personally it was Blockbuster and $5
God, I can't even count how many movies I watched for the first time as a bootlegs
>tfw watch pirated VHS
>tfw warns you that pirated VHS can "damage your VCR"
Pirate market really had the Israelis shaking for a time.
imagine if pirated media started with-
>YOU MOM WILL DIE IN HER SLEEP TONIGHT IF YOU WATCH OR DISTRIBUTE PIRATED MEDIA.
you wan DVD?
You wouldn't download a car, would you?
SOVL
I use to rent burnt dvds at this Korean rental store
I wanna go back
these Black folk always scammed me no bootleg game dvd i bought ever worked
Back in 2006 I didn't have fast internet so I bought Megaman X4 for Playstation and it came without any BGMs, only sound effects.
this is not something to be proud of. if your country had people on the streets blatantly breaking the law and everyone just turning a blind eye too it then you lived in a third world shithole lol
>Jews seethe about piracy because of all the shekels they lose (they don't)
>But never mention the only reason they setup shop in California in the first place was so they could avoid paying shekels on movies themselves
This is why they need gassed.
If you have people breaking the law in broad daylight then you live in a lawless shithole. first it's dvd's then it's bribing the police.
We live in a country where the media encourage criminal activity
I met a guy in the parking lot of my apt and got 300/apocalyptic and deju vu while that were all still in Theatres. 300 actually got me pussy a few times.
man I made some decent cash selling camrips to my dad’s friends and coworkers at $5 a pop. frickin netflix had to frick it all up
