Bithces!

This is the only excuse a pirate can use but it's a good one.

I'm pretty sure someone did some kind of study on that, and found that people who illegally download music wouldn't have bought the music legally anyway, so the artists don't lose anything by people downloading things illegally, since anyone who downloaded illegally wasn't even considering buying it legally.

It's not an excuse, I can't afford the ridiculous prices slapped onto things like these. Maybe you can, but some of us can't.

According to iTunes an mp3 is worth $0.99 or $1.29 so these guys must be crazy. Lol:rolleyes:

im RICH!!!!!!

If you don't have the money you don't have the right to use it. Imagine you have no money on you right now so you go in a store and take a chocolate bar without paying it then you use the excuse "I don't have money so I'll just take it for free".

Chocolate bars take quite a while(somewhat) to make, and I respect that.
Then something which can be mass-produced in a second using the internet comes along, which for whatever stupid reason is MORE expensive than the chocolate bar.
Even if I had the money thinking about it I doubt I would buy anything along these lines, it's a total rip off.

Now while you're right in what you say, could you just try for a second to imagine being in my situation?
My computer life revolves around stuff I self-admittedly have pirated. Vegas, Photoshop, After Effects; even my copy of Windows 7.
Without these things I'd be screwed, as in my life the only thing I'm really talented with is computers, and these "skills" could well get me a job someday. Now is it really fair that because I'm poor I be robbed of my future?
It's not harming the developers as I had no intention of buying the software AND it cost them nothing to mass-produce.
It's different to buying a bar of chocolate.

I know I expanded the above post to a pointless extent, but hopefully you understood what I was getting at

I know what you mean however it is still a matter of right or wrong. I too pirated photoshop but did I deserve to use it? No. I pirated a couple of games but did I deserve to use it? Again no. Just because it's easy to mass produce a game or a program doesn't mean I have the right to take it without paying. Sure I can and on some occasion's I did but in the end I didn't deserve it and I stole it.

"Your honor, I didn't have the money for that 60" LED but I didn't have the money so I just stole it".

Replace the 60" LED with whatever you want, it's still as idiotic. However it's idiotic for the industry of said product to assume that if you hadn't pirated it then you were gonna go and buy it.

Do I deserve to use it more than some full of himself, LA rich-kid? YES.
