        Swatting wasn’t really a thing until the 2000s. The term wasn’t even really coined until nearly the end of the 2000s. The FBI was using it in like 2008 or so.

        See Wikipedia or this FBI archive article https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/news/stories/2008/february/swatting020408

          There weren’t many ways to make anonymous phone calls in the 90s, you had to find 10¢ and go into town to find a pay phone.

    They started investigating him as soon as he started downloading that MP3. Did some reconnaissance around the house, got some surveillance intel, consulted a judge and a few expert witnesses, then commenced the on-site op and apprehended him when it was about 90% complete. (That’s about how long it took to download MP3s in the 90s.)

    it really was like that.

    I remember one time I got spooked that I was about to be raided and took all my backups (on DVDs) to a friends house after a loooong and winding path to their house to ensure I wasn’t followed.

    when I dropped it off all he asked was, “can I copy what you have?”

    told him he could copy whatever he wanted if he had the drive space. it was a full binder of 100 data DVDs.

    was never raided but I was looking over my shoulder for weeks after that.

        I worked at an electronics store at the time and a cop came in asking me some very specific questions about pirating. like a dumbass, I shared my knowledge. Though at the time I didn’t know he was LE.

        one of my coworkers called me and told me a cop was around asking for me at work on my day off. soon after that my internet connection died.

        I got spooked and dbanned my drives while I took my backups to another friends house.

        the guy was probably just trying to learn about piracy tbh. never saw him again after that.
