Prior to LimeWire you kind of mostly had to go to a physical store to buy a physical medium, or you “pirated” music onto blank tapes or CDs and swapped them with your friends. Shopping from home for (free) music was a game changer.

Is that actually true? I mean maybe I'm wrong about this, since I wasn't there but I've heard usenet was a thing even before limewire.
