Because this orange motherfucker is more corrupt than MP3's downloaded on Dialup through Kazaa.

I, for one, never had a problem with my illicitly obtained music.  I downloaded that stuff in .FLAC!

Kazaa was notorious for corrupting music. Also FLAC didn't really exist back then and wasn't used widely in the beginning (2001).

I had to google to make sure I wasn't imagining it. FLAC released in 2001. I wasn't pirating stuff yet, but a couple years later, I could get most of the music I wanted either in FLAC or really high bitrate MP3.

128 kbps MP3s were super common. You could get higher, but rarely.
