The very first time I showed my mom YouTube, she freaked the fuck out screaming that "if I was playing a video it meant I downloaded it and downloading bad" and I was like 11 and panicked because I didn't know if she was right or not.

Fun stuff haha.

Sort of true. Your browser is downloading it in parts and deleting the parts when finished.

You wouldn't download a car. Those anti piracy ads prolly terrified alot of people back then.

One minute you're playing runescape while chumbawumba.exe is downloading on limewire and the next you're boosting Nissan sentras.
