Yes, I may talk the talk (see title), but sadly I’ve hung up my pirate hat and sold Polly. I haven’t gone a-pirating since the Grand Ol’ Days of Napster and KaZaA. No, kids, not the weak subscription-based rent-to-sorta-not-own “music service” that Napster has become; I’m talking about the original Napster, chock-full o’ music, full-version software, and pr0n - all free! - at the height of its glory. After it went down KaZaA was a fairly decent substitute, but it just wasn’t the same as the file-sharing network that I’d grown to love. Then, along came the mob RIAA, threatening to break my legs if I continued my evil file-sharing ways without giving them their protection money, and that was when the Pearl went up for auction on eBay; after all, I didn’t want to end up with two peg legs…
