Hacked Amiga Music (HAM) introduced the ripping scene to Open Ripping at 26/10-98, and closed down after 65 100% fresh and Hard2Rip releases at 28/8-99. "I'm very satisfied with the result of HAM. My goal was to make a site where my rips were released right away, and where the ripping techniques were made public. It seemed that people liked the concept and within short time became HAM the fastest ripper site."
