What was the first thing or video or music or whatever that was so called "pirated" from the internet? How did it happen and was the end user happy? And can you still access it?

You’re actually kinda right. My understanding is the very first jpg image was an unlicensed scan of a playboy centerfold (cropped to exclude the nudity). It was copied and redistributed all over the place, before the internet even existed and it wasn’t licensed, but was copyrighted.
