Fortunately, more often than not, Internet users ended up with tracks that were mistitled or attributed to the wrong artists. It must be remembered that at that time, a simple song could take tens of minutes to be downloaded. Very often, this decentralization has allowed hackers to distribute their malware en masse, without it being possible for users to check the validity of the files online beforehand. This practice gave rise to jokes that are still memorable today, such as the famous excerpt from Bill Clinton’s speech in the Monica Lewinsky era, or even the unbeatable Rick Roll.
At the time, it was not uncommon – not to say very common – to download bad files instead of the one you want to acquire. Then begins a gigantic Russian roulette that will last for years.
