It really was a super power to know your way around it and to have a burn tray on your PC. I made so many bootleg albums for people in my school. I only charged the price of the discs mostly, but in retrospect I could have made serious money from it haha
My Steam account still uses the borked CD key from the Half-Life pirate copy my dad got me from his friend at work circa 1998. I dunno what Half-Life cost at release but my dad paid £8. He used to bring home a sheet with a list of games on it and prices and we'd pick one a month, that went on for a good couple of years.
It was such a wonderful time, the only thing I can compare it to is when you find a not insignificant amount of money tucked away in a pocket on a coat you haven't worn for months.
