Grew up on this stuff. Still fondly remember the warez bots in channels that would forward emails with archives attached for pirated software, often in 1.44MiB increments since it had to fit on floppy disks. It was a gateway for many of us into other distribution mediums for pirated software. I was part of that scene for years helping with various tasks as a teenager.
