No, it did not start with illegal downloading and file sharing to trade music; it started in the mid 1960s, when such concepts were beginning to take shape. The revolution in file sharing happened in the 1990s, when the Internet took off in people’s houses. Even now, file sharing is still being refined, with cloud computing now becoming popular.
