Napster - One of the first places to get free music, Napster got so big it changed the music industry and led to the development of iTunes and Spotify. It was sued for copyright infringement and forced to shut down in 2001.
LimeWire - The go-to destination to illegally download music, movies, and software. LimeWire was sued for copyright infringement and eventually shut down by a federal court in 2010.
Myspace - At its peak, Myspace had over 75 million visitors a month. But the rise of Facebook in 2009 caused the site to severely decline and it was eventually sold.
