People who pirated in the late 90s and early 00s what is the most dramatic change from then till now? And if you had the power what would you bring back?

*arrs auto downloading stuff for sure.
Funny thing is that the only reason I've found *arrs a few years ago was Netflix deciding to be stupid, making me look at how I can manage my local library better nowadays.
What’s funny is that the source those *arrs are downloading from is largely unchanged from the 90’s &aughts by still being newsgroup based
Funny thing, I tried using newsgroups for their intended purpose after rediscovering that Thunderbird is also a newsreader. The amount of topics is large (and really old), but the ones I checked out haven't had many updates. Though i admit I haven't been brave enough to dive into the alt. group yet. It reminds me of the internet before the web.
...thats because newsgroups have been around a lot longer than the web?
Well, yeah. My first interaction with the internet was a friend's technical savvy dad who had compuserve.
Noob
Yeah, I've been using newsgroups since the 90s back when I was also using xdcc on irc. Times were quite different.
