I download crap all the time. If it's something I really want to own, I'll buy it, but otherwise I'll download it.

You know what's a giant pain in the ass? Anti-piracy measures. What do they accomplish, exactly, besides driving people to download? Spore was cracked the other day and it's not even out yet, so instead of doing anything at all to prevent people from sharing their game, all they've done is inconvenience the people who are going to buy it legally.
