I'd not only rob the old lady, but I'd kill her too, so she couldn't identify me later.

Also, while I don't usually buy games that are sp only, I almost always go out and buy multiplayer games. I think the prices they have on console games are just too ridiculous; though, and that I'm really cheap, and pray every night to Jesus that America will foot the bill and force America into a military-occupied state, and give us entertainment for free in return. I'd be content.

If I stole somebody's car, he wouldn't have the car anymore.  If I download a game that I wouldn't have bought anyway, the "owner" isn't losing anything.  The grey area for me is when I download a game is worth buying.  Probably 25% of the time I'll go out and buy the game.  The other 75% is pretty hard to justify.

I don't have to justify anything to anybody.

It's wrong and people do it.  big fucking deal.   I liken it to speeding on the highway... the majority of people do it..

This guy saved me typing it. I hate it when ppl compare it to running out of a store without paying.

Wanting...needing...waiting...for u, to justify my warez..my warez....my warez...

Hoping...praying..for u , to justify my warez..

Damn man..not the song i should be getting stuck in my mind when..looking at....'her' ..erm..fuck.

Mart next time, seriously, dont use any words in ur topics that relate to sultry and steamy sounding Madonna songs.

Ok but seriously, i do it because ...well because im lazy and dont wanna go to stores to by shit..i want to save money as well..most games suck ass and it would suck to buy a full product like that, and then have to go thru the trouble of returning it, and even then u may not get a refund. But once in a blue moon when a groundbreaking game comes out, yes ill buy it, especially if the multi is great. I bought BF2, and also RomeTW.

As for movies, well..90% of them i buy. Too much shit missing from rips, like extras, bonus DVDs, and well..i love movies, so i want the whole sh'bang. Music, eh..Its halfnhalf. I buy alot of music, but download alot of it as well.

Oh and yea, i feel 1337 doing it.

If piracy really was considered stealing, and there was a crackdown on each citizens home to get a prosecute the criminals, i wouldnt be pirating stuff

that quote pretty sums it up. And if the before mentioned scenario would start taking place, i'd instantly stop pirating.

I thought downloading was included in the price of my internet connection.
