So yeah, do you think its getting out of hand? I admit to pirating games, though they are only old ones that are most likely out of production so the developers wouldnt be get any money from me either way.
Keep it civil

Be honest, you wouldn't.
I think those smurfing "you wouldn't steal a car" things on LEGALLY BOUGHT DVDS should be banned forever. It actually makes me want to buy pirate DVDs so I don't have to put up with this kind of bollocks from "the good guys".
If I really like a show or a game, I'd buy it.
But I pirate a lot. I mean about 500 gigs a year.
But I don't really care, I also spend 500 euro a year on games and 200 on DVD's, so it evens it out in my mind.
mp3's are total bull as artists make their money on tours. Let them work for their money.
Movies I watch in the movie theater.
And shows? Shows are free on tv anyway, why not watch it without the commercials?

Oh crap yeah I forgot about tv shows.
Rottenbeard told me to do it!
I'm against it. Wholeheartedly. I don't care what people say.. it is stealing.
Put Daria on DVD in its five-seasons and two-TV-movies entirety and I will buy it. Until then I'm keeping my illegally downloaded files because they haven't been made legally available to the common consumer and that is not fair on people who want to pay good money for their preferred entertainment.
While we're at it, can we please have Guilty Gear Accent Core on the PS2 in Europe? Nintendo has always been less popular than its competitors over here so why the hell did we only get the Wii version!? (I haven't pirated this, my PS2 isn't modded)
I think it's so funny how people try and justify their stealing. If you pirate, you're stealing, just own up to it.
I've pirated stuff before and so yeah, I am a thief. I know it, and I don't try and come up with bs excuses why it's ok or how it's not REALLY REALLY stealing. Pfft. Excuses excuses excuses.
Pirate = thief. Deal with it.
I second Roto13's argument and therefore I am not pirating.
Yey!
I shouldn't have to pay $50-$80 dollars for a single season of a television show that has, at most, 17-20 episodes on it, each of which are under 45 minutes in length with crappy "dvd bonus extras". Then I have to pay another outrageous fee to watch the next season of it (if it has one).
I also shouldn't have to pay $20-$30 dollars to own a movie I will probably only watch a few times and then never watch again except out of boredom.
Also paying $50-$60 on a video game is pretty heavy price to pay. I wouldn't be so for piracy if things weren't overpriced out the hole in my butt.
Does lying to yourself help you sleep better at night?I second Roto13's argument and therefore I am not pirating.
Yey!
I'm not justifying it. I know I'm stealing.
Maybe not.
(And yes, I know what's being stolen is the copyright, not the product. I posted it because it made me laugh... and because unlike people who just say "Piracy is stealing" because they're parrots, I know that piracy is stealing because the copyright is being stolen.)
Look, MTV can bloody well send me an invoice equivalent to the cost of five seasons of television and two movies on DVD, or they can release them and I'll pay the cost of five seasons of television and two movies on DVD. It's not unreasonable.
EDIT: Holy crap this thread moved fast!
