    in 1999 you had the ability to get into a music shop, load the cd and test listen to it. Or just go through the music charts. Or wish for a specific song on radio.

    Also 1999 already had Napster, Morpheus and others.

    You buy a Sony CD and decide to play it on your computer.

    Your computer now has a rootkit installed.

      And these days people just install the rootkit, only it’s allegedly to prevent game cheating.

    i’m curious now

    usually censorship is used to replace a strong word with a milder one, or to change the meaning of the text

    what word in this meme was so egregious that OP saw fit to replace it with “fucking”
