I have be a pirate most o' my days. I started at the raw age of 13. Still wet behind the ears, I set sail through the Ether Sea. Plundering MP3s and pillaging EXEs. Over these long years, my boats and and routes have changed, but the goal 'as always stayed the same.

I may be an old swab, at least in the eyes of ye lads, but my plunderin' has only been refined. I do miss the days of old. When the Ether Sea ran wild. Sure, the boats went slower back then, but that made the swag all the sweeter. It may have taken me 3 hours to catch one small load of MP3s, but I felt a pride of a job well done. Now ye young lads and lasses run around with your crazy high speed broadsteam engines.

But now is also a time to remember. So on this day, I run my jollyroger at half-mast in the memory of all my lost ships.

To the SS Napster. Ye where my first ship. Slow and clumsy as ye were, I'll miss you with all my less than three.

To the SS Morpheus. You once where the bread and butter of me piratin', but now ye sit at the bottom of the Ether Sea. I abandoned you, and I'm sorry for that.

Sorry, SS Limewire, I can't say I ever loved you. Scurvy couldn't be avoided with you, which makes ye name a little ironic. I can honestly say, I was glad to be rid of you.

And finally, to my current ship, the BitTorrent. You are a tough ship, unsinkable some say. I hope I can stay with you forever more. Ye've yet to fail me, and I hope ye never do.

And to all those jollyboats long forgot, I'll never see ye again, but I'm sure ye helped me out.

Well, that be it from this old sea dog. Feel free to send a bottle back with a memorial to your favorite lost ship.
