OP says ~2007 internet (asumming bandwidth and avail content) got good enough to become mainstem, not that I started around then.

It wasn't that though. High speed internet was available before that time. What really affected things in 2006 was that peer exchange was introduced to bittorrent, giving it a massive advantage over other file sharing services at the time.
