my friend showed me how to torrent minecraft when we were 11 and since then i have never paid for any software or audiovisual streaming service (unfortunately&shamefully i'm too attached to my spotify playlists and friends activity tab)
the absolute beauty of gaining access to a piece of art in the form of tiny bits scattered throughout strangers' computers... its like magic to me
in march 2024 i downloaded a 13gb file of the stan brakhage criterion anthology from a barely functional chinese website and since then my computer has automatically distributed over 587gb of stan brakhage films to other people throughout the entire world
