Yep, Napster was the first I remember. It got sued too, by Lars Ulrich of Metallica. I also remember Limp Bizkit and some others doing a Napster tour to give a middle finger to the artists making a big deal about piracy.
I still feel the pain of downloading something and the connection breaking at 90% because the other person logged off. There also wasn’t any way to resume.

Limewire? How about DC++ and eMule?
Napster, Kazaa and Morpheus to add a few names to the hat.
Ah, I forget about Kazaa and Kazaa Lite.
Bearshare gang, represent!
Living the golden age. Fuck yeah. Kazaa was the life. Personally I was a heavy eMule user.

Don’t forget soulseek.
Soulseek is still going believe it or not. Fantastic service.
Even worse: how about M.U.L.E.?
Love it, except when my M.U.L.E. goes haywire.
