Many of the songs I ripped and shared via Napster in the late 1900's continued to appear on legitimate platforms years later.

psst Hey, uh listen. We've all been talking and while, yes the term late 1900's is factually correct, you can just not say it. Like it's so easy, you don't have to do anything or can do literally anything else.

How do you know they are the same files though?

[โ€“] Vegan_Joe@piefed.world 38 points 15 hours ago

Same bitrate, file size, and metadata (with my tags still included), along naming schemes and occasional misspellings.
