Can I also say how I like how people continue to forget, ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING STARTED at the time of Britney's debut? Napster started in 1999 and received HUGE spike in interest and downloads in 2000, nothing like today's downloading landscape, but it was big enough of a threat for record labels to sue them. My cousin downloaded Oops from Napster in 2000 for free. The opportunity was there, but of course the amount of computer users from now to then aren't the same, but more families were starting to invest in them.
