    Before torrent became viable and after Napster died, emule was the place where to download things.

    You’d be really hiped up to watch a movie, you’d find it on emule and start downloading it. You would not shut down the computer for the following two weeks to allow the download to complete, you could indeed stop it and resume later however you were probably downloading at about 5 kb/s a 500 Mb file and would not want to wait months to have it.

    You’d then place a dvd in your drive and burn the movie in there. You’d call all your family to finally watch the long awaited movie, place it in your dvd reader and start it.

    That’s when you’d find out the movie was actually a porn video.

    That’s how you learn to always check the content before burning it on a dvd.

    And yes, a good 20% of movies were actually porn videos for some reason.
