Do you pirate games, music, movies?, is it right or wrong? Options

[coustoe]

I admit I pirate the majority of my stuff froom eboks, educational films, movies to games console/computer and music mp3s, anime, and tv shows.

But I do still buy a lot of books, and rent a hella lot of movies through netflix, and buy maybe 3 games a year.

I don't think theres anything wrong with what I do. Though Im beggining to feel bad especially with computer game developers, I see so many great games that dont get enough commercial success to continue, well i usually buy the game if i like it. I gotta say though 95% of the stuff out there is crap.

It isn't wrong if you still buy their merchendise..
for instance,
I have all the AC\DC DVD's (bought and paid for) but I downloaded a lot of their albums.. .

As long as you support whatever it is that you pirate, I guess it's fine..

actually, it is still wrong...in your opinion it might not be, but under the eyes of copyright laws, it's still wrong.

downloading anything that has anything to do with being copyrighted, and is a pay-per-use item, is wrong...

its all about each individuals ideals on ethics...

because basically, what you're saying is...i can buy music DVDs from a store, but, at the same time, steal the cds from the same store...
