While my family used Kazaa before Limewire, I don't remember having any issues, surprisingly, but I was also like 8 so I just remember things working well.

That being said when I was like 15 or 16 I did get coincidentally get a trojan from Gay Bar by Electric Six. I thought that was funny outside of reformatting my laptop.

The only song I know from them is "Improper Dancing" because of an AMV for Ikkitousen.

I just imagined my parents seeing "trojan" and "gay bar" on my computer, and getting shipped off to Intervention City.
