CD-ROMs have done much damage to pirate boards, because while it was once 
very easy to build a library of 150k and 400k files, it is now very 
difficult to do the same with 400 megger and 500 megger files.

But I hestitate to write this, because we've all heard this same line:
"Well, piracy used to be very big, but there's not much left anymore. I
would say that up until last summer it was really big..." I've heard this
bit being said for more than a decade now.
