Kids these days don't know the pain of LimeWire

Nutsack doesn't know the pain of downloading gallon-of_jizz.vid.exe and completely fragging the family pc

no i never did this one time even because i am a genius

I believe that's the plan for the future, too. Conglomo A owns all the RAM, but we can rent access.
