My friend from school basically got his entire PC upgrades for good 5-6 years paid because he "invested" in CD burner (then-expensive devices requiring SCSI card to even work) and profited off copying business. Think it was around age of 10.
It was cheaper to find someone on a phpbb forum to send you physically something than dealing with ISP and shitty local internet laws.
It lasted for a year or so. I send hundreds of disks. Was getting pay thought bank wire on my older brother account.
I think I drink all of it in cheap pastis drink.
And the localization was epic. It would be basically equivalent to all movie/TV star localization on the west. I still like the translated narrator better than the original.
