Powell ended up testifying on the wardrobe malfunction more than any other issue else in his entire career. "I ended up testifying for nine hours on just this," he said in disbelif. "On 9/16 of a second."

Jackson was treated more harshly than Timberlake, much to Powell's chagrin. "I personally thought that was really unfair," he said. "It all turned into being about her. In reality, if you slow the thing down, it's Justin ripping off her breastplate." When the native Tennessean was recently asked about the Super Bowl performance, he declined to defend Jackson. "I take that I chose not to comment on it still, after 10 years," Timberlake told the magazine. "I'm not touching that thing with a 10-foot pole."

The scandal became one of the most talked about moments in pop culture history, and it also inspired several young entrepreneurs. Jawed Karim, for example, wanted to make it easier to find the Nipplegate clip and other in-demand videos. A year later, he co-found YouTube, the largest video-sharing site of all time. The incident also made "Janet Jackson" the most searched term, event and image in internet history, as well as the most searched person and term of the year in 2004 and 2005.
