I was 16 before Napster existed. It didn't come out til I was 19. You guys are so ignorant and self centered. Claim you care about the artists but you want it all for free and when Spotify makes things difficult on you your solution is to pirate everything. We pirated when music was far more expensive than it was now. Software cost $1000s and there wasn't a $60 monthly option. People actually lived on minimum wage back then and it was $4.25/hr.
