What an odd post. You’re asking a question, then pretending to understand the history.

We didn’t “pirate” by copying CDs bro. We were just copying them like you copy a file. And like we copied cassette tapes and recorded songs off the radio.

“Pirating” as it relates to modern music, (discounting pirate radio) was coined when mass distribution was enabled by the internet.

Also, tape recorders on the sides of the stage weren’t considered pirating. The artists allowed it if it happened. The Grateful Dead popularized this.
