Lyrical Memory Challenge: What Song Do You Know By Heart? 🎤
Happy Monday, Pure Storage Community! It's the beginning of the week during this December month, so why don't we kick things off with some fun to get to know you all a little better. Since last week we gave you a tidbit of music history, let's keep the music theme going and ask you this week's Monday Funday question: What is a song you know every word and lyric to? Is it a classic rock anthem, a 90s pop hit, a musical showstopper or maybe a more recent track that instantly lodged itself in your brain? We're talking about the song you can sing, rap or belt out from start to finish without missing a beat. Share your lyrical mementos in the comments below! Bonus points if you have a story behind why it's so memorable to you. Don't forget to give a 'like' to the songs that transport you back as well!

💡Technology Tip Thursday💡: Napster & Your All-Time Playlist 🎶
Hello everyone, the Thanksgiving holiday passed and another Thursday is here: a 💡Technology Tip Thursday💡 to be exact! This is a thread where we sprinkle tidbits of knowledge to the community on technology milestones that happened throughout the years during this month! This week we're bringing you some crucial musical tech history. Did you know that is was this month, December 7, 1999 The Recording Industry Association of America Sues Napster, the music file sharing service? The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) sued Napster in December 1999 for copyright infringement, alleging the peer-to-peer file-sharing service enabled the illegal distribution of copyrighted music. The lawsuit, which involved multiple record companies, argued Napster was facilitating widespread music piracy, leading to a landmark legal battle that eventually contributed to Napster's shutdown in 2001. Napster didn't exactly invent file sharing, but its peer-to-peer (P2P) created a massive, decentralized data ecosystem seemingly overnight. This legal battle eventually pushed the music industry fully into the digital age. It forever changed how we access and listen to music, leading us all to create massive digital libraries! So for our community question this week: What is your go-to song or songs and albums that you could listen to over and over? Share your memories below! Be sure to comment on your peers' replies!
