Sites like match.com were such a target rich environment in placed like San Francisco and NYC, that you could score 2/3 dates a day if you wanted to. No cap. It was the wild west. It was glorious. Napster/Limewire meant you were never without music if you didn't want to be. Movies/TV downloads weren't available in quantity yet, but music was flowin.

Napster was already gone by the time I got internet access but I do remember Kazaa, Audiogalaxy, Imesh, Ares and eDonkey/eMule.
