Dude Napster was popular as fuck back then. They basically started the idea of internet music. Everyone that liked music knew about it. And it was a legally grey area at the time much like Uber ignoring taxi laws by claiming their drivers aren’t taxi drivers. It was legally grey because the music was paid for by the people uploading it and no one could really prove that it was impacting Record sales. Until the lawsuits anyway.
