If all the music you listen to was shared on Napster in 1999, what do you think the affect would be on history? (thelemmy.club)

So... Funny story. My brother found System of a Downs Toxicity on Limewire or whatever months before it came out and burned me a copy. I listened to it non stop and bought the album when it came out.

Listening to the official Deer Dance I noticed that they changed the song just slightly between my brothers version and the release. That was pretty wild.

I wonder if the leaked version is still on the net anywhere.

I still have a leaked version of Cosmogramma that's slightly different.

Where did I leave that old CD binder? 🤔

What.cd was filled with obsessive people that try to archive every version of a song. I think they moved onto Redacted.

Also, check SoulSeek.
