    Default How Much Do You Pirate?

    OK, the time has come for some honesty. I'm just wondering who here pirates things, what you pirate, how often, and how you feel about it.

    I personally pirate everything I can. Movies, games, programs, music...everything. If I could pirate hardware I totally would. The only thing I really pay for anymore is books...and thats usually only after I've already pirated them to make sure I can enjoy it.


    Edit: **** I forgot the poll.

    I pirate everything, I can't afford to actually buy a game/movie/music/anything in my country seeing as how they costs between 100 and 200 bucks to even import them, and on top of that venezuela has a tight policy in dollar exchange and I can't literally spend more than 300$ on internet buyouts (amazon and stuff like that)

    I really dislike piracy and try to avoid it as much as I can.
    No, not that I'm afraid of getting caught but piracy isn't supporting the creators of products at all. Think about it this way:
    If everyone would pirate, would any musician bother to make good(if any) songs? No, because they wouldn't make any profit of it, because no one would buy their stuff anyway.
    That was just an example, though. It's the same for software, movies, etc.
    Sure, I do understand that piracy is sometimes "unavoidable", if say you want to watch an anime that isn't out in your country or if it is but the dub is so horrible that you rather stick to the original language + subs.
    But pirating "just because you can" is pathetic. Shame on you. :/

    AoC, you'll need a full product key. Even after the trial you cant just pay for a month.

    GW actually only has one install, and you can download that free from Play NC. But again, you need full product keys to play.

    Both AoC and GW require you to enter the keys into your account details, so its not as if you can hack the disk. Your options are buy the games, buy the keys, or hack the websites (good freaking luck on that one).

    And to add something to my list: Anime, that one I do all the time.

    Not a lot really, i watch movies on websites instead of downloading the same with heroes. I only ever torrented Spore but i had the key i just needed a download.

    Also on my new PC for some reason i can't get any good speeds i wanted to try a few games to see if they worked but can't seem to download them.

    I occasionally buy something I really really like. Like a Red Hot Chili Peppers CD, if it's cheap and in good condition.

    Or sometimes I would watch a movie in a cinema with friends, much better atmosphere if it was an epic movie like 300 or The Dark Knight.

    I download music, PC and Dreamcast games, and movies recorded by camcorders.

    Last year, I was pirate insane, but this year, I download an album every now and then. Just now I downloaded Simple Plan discography and Secondhand Serenade discography.

    I do buy CD's to support artists that I love. I'm still waiting for the new Menudo CD even though it was suppose to come out in Spring, then December 23rd, and now early January. I frantically search fan sites, their Myspace, and the official website for an official release date. I have been ripping my hair out since Spring! D:

    I used to pirate a lot more. After getting my first serious virus, I've cooled down until I forget about that damn virus.

    Mainly music albums, videos, and programs.

    I like having legit copies of games, and I like having a hard-copy collection of my games so I don't buy online that much either.

    I've only pirated Far Cry 2 for a game, could never get it to work, got frustrated, heard it sucked, never tried again.

    I pirate everything too. Hell, if I could pirate Best Buy itself I'd do it.

    And this only feel appropriate:

    Anything I deem unworthy of spending money on, or don't want to spend money on, or can't.

    That and anything which isn't normally available to me. Like American TV shows and that kind of stuff.
