When I was in college, way back when, Netflix started as a service that physically mailed you DVDs. You would then mail the DVDs back, and they would send the next ones on your list of movies you wanted to see. That is pretty much what killed Blockbuster, as stupid as it sounds. Technically, Netflix still offers this DVD rental service. Anyway at the time, I signed up for free one month trial of Netflix, and realized that I could rip the movie and mail it back same day and that would be faster than downloading them via eMule. Internet speeds where not what they are now, and I was too poor to rent/buy movies all the time. I then realized that there were special coupon codes out there, where if you signed up for the free trial using those you got more than one DVD at a time. Typically, the coupons would allow you to get three DVDs at a time on the trial, but some were for more DVDs at a time. The coupon codes were simple five or six digit numeric codes. You see where I'm going with this? I wrote a script to try every code combination, and brute forced all coupons for 3, 6, 10, and even found one for 99 DVDs at a time. I was too chicken to try the 99 DVDs coupon code, but I did use the 10 repeatedly. I signed up for as many free trials as I could. I varied the spelling of my address. I signed up my friends, parents, and neighbors. I would get piles of DVDs, rip them, and then mail them straight back. I even started burning them onto blank DVDs for friends as family. I ended up ripping about 300 DVDs before I lost steam/interest/hard drive space after a few months. It was the most work I've ever done for anything. I don't even know why I did it. I didn't even watch them really, but that was the start of my life as a real pirate. What's your origin story?
