    Yes for sure! But if you didn’t download executables or other files that could contain code, you were usually ok.

    The crazy thing about it is people got digital music from all kinds of sources back then - mix CDs, recordings, etc, and would create the title/artist/album tags by hand, so you’d see all kinds of wrong information.

    Like you could probably download “Dancing in the Moonlight - Van Morrison.mp3” on limewire, but really you’d be getting either “Moon Dance” by Van Morrison, “Dancing in the Moonlight” by King Crimson, or rarely, something else entirely.
