Don't worry, I'll be sure to tell...

J/K! I really don't care about pirate, only because I do some. All well... :)

Uh if you can't buy it, steal it! And if you can buy it, steal it anyway as it saves you money for things you can't steal. I mean noone is going to get you for having everything pirated, only if you go publically sell it or something.

Yup, he has a HUGE point! It only makes sense to save money because we are not getting caught... GREAT STATEMENT DARK JIM!

Almost everything that I own. F**k their property. I don't care where it came from as long as I didn't have to pay for it. And of course I share my stuff.


HELL YA

Let's just put it this way: If I can get it for free, I don't pay for it. I like to help my friends get said things for free as well. I don't care if I'm hurting the sales of any company, because to them, I'm just some insignificant consumer that they hope they can reap a buck off of. Software companies make far more money than their work is worth. They are crazy if they think I'm going to pay for it.

I try to pay for things but if they are too expensive or I don't need them anyway then "pirating" them is okay with me.

I download everything for free of of the billions of Gnutella servers around the world... If i don't have to pay for it I wont. There are only a few things that are worth paying for that I actually buy.... otherwise it's off to the millions of sources of free software/music :)

However, if I am going to reap profit from a certain peice of software or whatever I most definately will pay for it. (I mean a LOT of profit of course ;))

I don't share my stuff usually.

I only download things I need, usually deleting them soon after. Like if I'm in the midst of converting an Mp3 to midi of a song that I don't already own a copy of, I'll grab it off the net, convert it and delete it when I'm done. Same goes for programs of any sort.

Most of my software is pirated, most of my games anyways. I could go on to list them, but I don't wanna get in trouble for anything I may say :)

Heh, makes me think if I should bother making games for a living for people to steal.

I have never downloaded software from anywhere, but I know it's possible. I just think you should do what you can to get it... :D
