You can say you have never downloaded anything illegal? your windows is liget? you have no downloaded music? you have no downloaded videos? your computer is 100% free of copyrighted things, even such as small things like immages. You know i could report you for your avatar, because the screenshots you took them were property of Squaresoft.
Just because millions of people are doing it doesnt make it right, and furhtermore you just prooved a point. Its only fifty dollars for you, so its no big deal. Then times fifty by one million and you have the amount of money that company just lost because of imulators. And some people dont download music. I know I dont. I bought my copy of windows at market value, and images are taken from google. Its not illegal to copy images from the web. They are free, and the company looses no profit from it. In fact, they actually gain profit from it because people come to their sites to get stuff and increace advertising values.


Downloading un-ethical? Why because the companies producing the music/games are losing a little money. Heres my view on the downloading of music at least. Lets say I want the song "still frame" by Trapt, and thats the only song I want. Whos the bigger thief? Me for downloading this one song, or the record company for forcing me to pay $19.99 for this one song plus 14 or 15 other songs I didnt want in the first place?- enoki

Well, what you just did was wrong. The company made it that way so you had to buy their cd. If you dont like the price they put it at, you dont have to buy it. You can just go without untuil you get over it and decide to go buy it with money you earned. And furthermore, isnt it un-ethical that you get payed for working? I mean, you get paid 5 dollars minimum per hour, so after 4 hours you have enough to buy that cd. Its not that hard to go get a job unless your under 16. THen just do housework. Making money isnt a hard task.
