Chapter 38: Hackers

But Sean Parker was hacking a website at the time, and if you wanted to hide your identity, you had to log out, but you didn't have a keyboard and played with a yarn!

So the FBI tracked him down, and later that day, his father suddenly found that his home was surrounded by a large number of FBIs. Agent Pen Fun www.biquge.info said his son attacked the sites of multiple government and military bases. When they storm the school to find Sean Parker, the tease is still in history class.

Because he was still a minor, he was sentenced to community service, so he began to mingle with a group of juvenile delinquents, and his personality began to be wild and rebellious.

Mingling with these juvenile offenders convicted of community service not only made him a later character, but also gave him his first "experience" in his life - his "first" was with the "rebellious punk girl" he met while serving in the community, and later in an interview, he confessed that it was one of the most romantic experiences of his life.

Then, when Sean Parker's "glorious deeds" spread, many organizations invited him to develop software, including the CIA. He earned $80,000 in his junior year of high school.

That same year he befriended another bear kid, 15-year-old genius hacker Sean Fanning.

Sean Parker didn't go to college because he rebelled against his parents, but he taught himself a lot about economics and politics. At the age of 18, Sean Fanning proposed to become a Napster, so Sean Parker, who lives in Virginia, ran away to San Francisco, California, for the first time he left his hometown.

In 1999, the two Seans teamed up to develop the first pirated music sharing website in history, Napster.

Not long after the website was launched, the number of Napster users exceeded 10 million, and pirated music led by Napster was rampant on the Internet, causing the big record companies to lose hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, and more importantly, to develop the habit of people, especially young people, to download music for free, which eventually led to a percentage decline in the revenue of record labels.

The whole record industry exploded, and all the record companies banded together to frantically sue them.

In March 2000, Napster was completely shut down - losing the case because opposing lawyers found Sean Parker's email to Sean Fanning saying, "Anyone who downloads on Napster is illegal." In the end, the two Seans decided to declare the company bankrupt directly in order to escape tens of millions in compensation.

Although Napster went bankrupt, the P2P sharing model they invented completely changed the world, not only music, but also pirated movies and series were widely spread around the world. It can be said that even the two Seans themselves did not expect that the P2P model they developed would have a far-reaching impact in the future.

"Who the hell are you?" Sean Parker, who was all red, sat down unceremoniously across from Sid.

"It's not who I am, it's whether the famous Sean Parker is ready to sink like this. Sid had a smile on his face, but his words were devastating.

Sean Parker exploded all at once: "Who are you shouting about Loser!?"

"Why, after being knocked over by a few record sellers, are you ready to admit defeat?" Sid didn't care about the other party's fierce attitude, but asked in a good time.

"I didn't throw in the towel. Sean Parker said viciously like a child who wouldn't admit defeat, and then he thought about it for a moment, and suddenly lay down in a deflated mood, "They've already won, boy, don't you know? Haha, didn't you hear just now, I can only go to Starbucks to serve dishes." ”

Sid lifted Erlang's legs, slightly curled the corners of his mouth and asked, "How long has it been since you touched the computer?"

"Computers?" said Sean Parker, with a self-deprecating expression, "I don't want to touch that thing anymore." ”

Hearing this, Sid suddenly stood up, stepped over the coffee table and punched Sean Parker in the face, "Bang!", Sean Parker was knocked to the ground, Sid looked down at him with cold eyes: "I thought the man who stirred up the entire record industry was a big guy." ”

"I didn't expect to be just a waste who admits defeat so easily, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, if everyone is like you, then is there today's Silicon Valley?"

After saying that, Sid shook his head in disappointment, originally wanted to find a rebellious, independent and self-reliant entrepreneurial partner, but met a weak-willed and low-spirited scumbag.

"Stop!" Sean Parker crawled up with his eyes wide open, "I didn't admit defeat!"

Under Sid's continuous provocations, Sean Parker also moved the real fire, and he began to expose the flame in his heart that had not been shown in front of people, "I don't admit defeat so easily, boy." No matter who you are, go back and tell your family, my Sean Parker is not so easy to throw in the towel!"

Sid saw Sean Parker standing up again, and smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, I didn't expect there to be a little backbone." Plus, I'm the boss of my family, and no one is bigger than me. ”

At this moment, a surprised voice next to "Ah!" interrupted the "communication" between Sean Parker and Sid, it was Sean's red-haired girlfriend, and she covered her mouth with surprise: "You, you are Sid!"

"Sid, what Sid?" Sean Parker apparently didn't know anything about the name.

"Sid Leon! The girlfriend hated iron and said, "The director of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth", the boss of the Fire Lion Group!"

Seeing Sean Parker who turned his head again, Sid greeted with a smile, "Hello, Sean, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time." Also, you might want to put on your pants first. ”

"Ahhh

――――――――――――――――――――

After a few jumps, Sid and Sean Parker arrive at an Italian restaurant near their home.

"So, you didn't come to me specifically to fight with Loser, did you? "After learning Sid's identity, Sean Parker has been stinking all the time.

Although his girlfriend behaved the opposite, a "big man" like Sid would definitely not come to Sean Parker without a purpose, this was obviously an opportunity to fall from the sky, so the redhead showed quite enthusiasm along the way.

But Sean Parker is the opposite, and he feels that Sid's performance from the beginning is making fun of him. Although the idea of moving his fists was instantly dispelled after seeing the strong Rem beside Sid. But a stinky face was put out.

Sid smiled slightly, looked at the crowded streets of San Francisco in the morning, and said, "Do you know what I think is the most interesting and successful thing about Napster? ”

But Sid didn't wait for an answer, and replied to himself: "Although some people say that it promotes piracy and undermines fairness, in my opinion, the greatest thing about Napster is that it touches the cake of the incumbent." ”
