Well, and there's surveillance from the client's side, meaning connecting to the network will be unsafe for your social rating. If you accidentally connect to the network for even a second, you're done.

Yep, same. Well I actually remember finding the best ways to copy a game on a tape error free first. Some, without protection you could just save back to tape for a digital reproduction (and this also allowed tape to disk conversion). Actually those with non destructive copy protection could kinda be copied too if you knew a little Z80 ASM. Others, you needed to copy tape to tape and hope the quality turned out OK.

But yes, then bringing your box of copied disks (Amiga in my case) into school and swapping with your friends was the way to go.
