Where were you in the early 2000s? Lol
I don’t know anyone who didn’t do this.
Anecdotal evidence isn't evidence.
Start naming. Organize the names. And their experiences, and start collecting over time, if you wanna go that route. Because otherwise, you're just some random words in the ether.
nuh-uh
Burning CDs. That's how I know most people didn't know how to do it, or want to put in the effort. You had to go buy a stack of CDs, hope your computer supported burning, had to make sure players could support the burned disc (depending on if you made a music disc or data disc, if it was rewritable), and spend the time to burn the disc.
Contrast that to ctrl+c ctrl+v.
There's more people who can 'duplicate' digital files than there were people burning CDs.
