i'm semi done with the pirates life. (a semi blog)

You don't pirate anymore, but is that really true?

Or maybe you are just defending yourself from judgment about pirating? Its not even something to be ashamed off.

He's pirating, let him, I pirate games too but I buy them after, because I like supporting the companies and owning the game legally.

AHHH but DO you? "Or maybe you are just defending yourself from judgement about pirating?"

It is. I haven't even downloaded a movie or music in close to a year now. Granted I don't watch a whole lot of movies anyways and I have a netflix/crackle so there's no need for it. Unless you count watching free porn on the internet as pirating, but that's different because it depends on the type of videos.

I'm not saying he shouldn't pirate. I'm just really curious as to why he's boycotting Nintendo. Like... it makes no sense. He was pirating them, but now he's boycotting them, so he's not pirating them. Even then, it's kind of ironic to make a blog post saying you aren't pirating but when in actuality, you still are. Granted in his defense, he did say semi-done.

Identifying the games I download and then bought them? Sure, if that's what you really want.

..I rest my case, you clearly have some sort of identity/ personality problem. This is not the place to get help for those kind of problems.

Dude (OP), you're still pirating. At least if you want to be moral, you can buy the UMDs of the games you're pirating before downloading the pirated copies to put on your PSP. That's what I do (if the game isn't already available on PSN).

From a legal sense, I "pirate" by making backups of games I already own (hence why I still have my SuperCard and EZ Flash IV), but that's it. I gave up all other forms of pirating, flat out stealing games I don't own at all, etc sometime in the last few months of last year. But you go beyond that. You claim to have given up pirating, but that you still pirate PSP games... seriously?

Does that apply even to old NES/SNES ROMS as well? Remember, abandonware doesn't exist.

Now that I got a way to identify what I've been doing you back off uh? Ok.

I have no use for people like you who bother me then back off when they start losing.

That IS dumb indeed, still either you pirate or not, there's no such thing as ''semi-pirating''.

I said more than 3 times here that I DO pirate.

But that's ok, its okay if you didn't read the other posts.

I read all the posts and in case you didn't notice I was being sarcastic.

Yes, it includes everything. I buy all old generation games on virtual console. And I just rebought an N64 and SNES, and intend to get a NES soon, to buy the ones that aren't available on it. I really can't wait for Nintendo to start doing GBA virtual console, because I'm going broke rebuying all my favorite GBA games in physical format.

Hmm, I think you need to put your glasses back on your face, I download Wii games just to try them for 24 hours, if I like them then I buy them, I don't go ahead and be a hypocrite like many here by saying: ''OMG you play pirated games etc etc, I don't play pirate games bla bla'' I play pirate games and I admit it, at least I have the courage for it unlike some people

It's fun how you preach honesty yet lie about the 24 hour thing.
We all know you don't actually do that. You're a filthy pirate like most of us, you should have the courage to admit it bro.
Saying you pirate and play games but then try to defend yourself with "oh but I delete after 24 hours" doesn't really hold water. You can cut that last part out and none of us will care.
I have like 1TB of pirated shit, like I care if people know.
Almost everyone pirates, and the people who don't really are missing out. Saves a lot of money and lets a person buy and support shit they actually like instead of accidentally buying a bunch of crap games and then not being able to afford the good ones.
Piracy isn't a big deal, so lying to make yourself look better is kind of pointless.

I do download games for only 24 hours, just to try them, If i like them I buy them, if not I delete them and forget about them, I have a hard disk along with the USB Loader GX, mostly because running my game backups is better than running from the DVD itself (it wears out the lens)
I would you to prove me wrong about what I said.

I like having the game's case along with the manuals, I can get you a damn pic if you want.

Sheesh, so many accusations going around... "Everyone pirates, and the ones who say they aren't are probably lying." WOW. All you accomplish when you say that is show just how insecure you are about the fact that you pirate.

I know tons of gamers who don't pirate, not even in the way that I do (backups, etc). They DO exist, whether you want to admit it or not.

I've never met anyone insecure about pirating.

What a cracking OP, that's the best post i've read in a long while

To the rest of you bickering discussing on whether you pirate or not, who cares?

 

[TripleSMoon]

If that's true, why do you feel the need to accuse people who claim to not pirate of lying? Sounds to me like you're insecure in your own identity as a pirate compared to others if you feel the need to do that.

 

[pyromaniac123]

This thread took a long time to load, because I was pirating.

What would I have to be insecure about...is there a language barrier here, I don't think you know what insecure means.
I fully and openly admit to pirating, always have. There's nothing to be ashamed over, nothing to hide. Calling people out on obvious bullshit doesn't suddenly make me unsure of my history of piracy. That makes no sense.

EDIT: and i'd like to add, the kid never once said he doesn't pirate.

As usual, Yepi shows up, takes everything WAY to personally, and makes the whole thread about her.

Piracy is wrong and you're a fucking arsehole if you don't pay for the hardwork that others have created.

I would be a bigger fucking arsehole had I had more time to watch/play/listen to stuff I would download.
