    CDs absolutely influenced the scale and speed of it. And it was a generational shift that went from piracy being something that wasn’t well understood and mostly a niche issue for music and movie lovers (“home taping is killing music”) to something that impacted all types of media.

      MP3’s sped up copying of music. As for games though, they increased in size because of CD’s so that countered any speed up.
