As was mp3. In fact if it wasn't for piracy I doubt there would have ever been any hardware mp3 players produced. The music industry actually tried to suppress the sale of them. And without hardware mp3 players there would be no ipod and therefore no itunes.

Something that is fan made will always be higher quality than something made by someone who is paid by the hour to produce it. The reasons for that should be obvious to anyone.
