The few times I have pirated I went out and bought the game/video.



I have an HBO subscription, is it really pirating?

The only thing I really pirate is UFC events.

The only show I DL is Merlin, because it is on in England like 6 months before it makes it to the US.

I pay for HBO.

If I want to watch shit I already paid for without waiting 9 months to pay for it again, I will.

If you think that "damages my integrity"....you were never a punk and the Ramones would spit on your corporate ball licking ass.

Just saying....

Back to reality. People have no problem paying for stuff they want, even on the interweb. But don't ask them to wait months and months to pay for shit they can get today for nothing....then cry about "pirates". Your own stupidity cost you the money. They didn't steal from you, they acquired an additional copy of your product that they already paid for (and thus endorsed your work) via a means that wasn't hopelessly outdated and stupid. Unlike the means you endorsed, which was both slow and pathetic.

I can see why you would be angry and defensive. That usually comes when you are dishonest with yourself.

If you think Punk was about stealing crap you're dumber than you look.

I get it. You place convenience over integrity. Go you.

Maybe if you explain your rationalization once more I'll buy your bullshit too.

If you think copyright infringement is stealing.....your sweaters are getting too tight over your gut.

Buy a bigger size man, It's ok.

$34.99 is a good price, that's blu ray. I don't like Best Buy but Fry's wants $60 for it.
