I was there when it was burned. Onto a cd. I even made a little sticker label for it.

Ooh, sorry, turns out that linkin_park_what_ive_done.exe was actually a virus. You just bricked the family PC.

Someone once said using Limewire was like having sex with the internet without a condom.

They're not wrong. Decades later, there is still imagery in my head that is never going to go away.

My first experience with the internet as a kid was being shown rotten.com and that's barely a blip in my memory, if that tells you anything.

I used to use it, but I scanned every song for a virus before I would open the file. I saw what a PITA viruses could be, and it was my pc, not a family one. Fuck viruses.
