      I once spent a night on vacation copying all the floppy disks for Project Chicago (alpha of Win 95). It was like 50 disks.

      Piracy having to occur in person was a short lived thing. Though even at that time BBSs were a thing, but I can’t imagine how long that would have taken to download.
