I pirate because I can.
End of.
With other words "Because you dont really care if its wrong or not"
It's not immoral, stealing takes from somebody else, piracy makes a copy.
If you wouldn't buy the game anyway, the big corporations don't lose any profit if you download it.. That's not to say it's legal though, but there are many things that are legal that are wrong in my opinion (Abortion being a big one, but that's an entirely different discussion..)
Even if every single member of this forum pirated every piece of digital content they "owned", the big businesses wouldn't even see a microscopic dent in their paychecks.
tl;dr Piracy is fine.
^Technically it is. There are laws (at least here in Aus) which limits you to photocopying max 10% of a book or something along those lines. Which is fair imho.I find it very useful to imagine the same scenario, but with something a bit more tangible. Just replace "download/pirate" with "photocopying". So, rephrase the situation as, "Is taking a photocopied copy of a book from a friend wrong?"
Can you honestly say you see absolutely nothing wrong with photo-copying a book and giving it out to everyone who wants it? either for free or a fee?
Saying you pirate to stop the big mean corporations over a completely luxury product is the largest load of bullshit anyone can peddle.
It's a luxury, if you don't like the price don't play it. There's about a thousand other hobbies out there.
Also, implying Halo is a "free money" game. Halo 4 cost what, $60 million to make? Regardless of how you like it, the games have effort put into it. Like whether you like the games or not, I think it's pretty spiteful to say that they're not made with care. Good graphics, fun level design, fun multiplayer, and a great soundtrack. These aren't slapped together in a couple of months.
so you cant buy a $60 game so you steal it
That's not what I was saying. I'm saying that they are killing each other off by having too many companies making too many games, cutting down their own businesses. Like I said, I bought kingdoms of amalur, and I liked it. I don't pirate on console, I only pirate on handheld, where I don't even really play the games I pirate. It's more of a forced demo, in my personal situation.
And yes, it's not technically free money, but, there are too many companies making games trying to get the blockbuster status of halo/cod.
Personally, I really want to support game companies. I have no issue with buying games new, or paying again to get an old game on my new system. I have the money to do that, and if I don't, it's as simple as waiting until I do have cash again.
Sometimes, though, the stuff I want isn't something I can pay for. Games I was really looking forward to that never made it to America, I pirate. Old games I owned but no longer can find the system for them, I pirate.
Nintendo still doesn't like it, but... if they make games I want available for purchase, I will buy them. And that's my two cents.
I said it before and I will say again, there's only one thing I don't like about this forum and that's all the official idiot mummy boys, that are on here. To you official people, people pirate games, fucking live with it. If you have a problem with it buy your fucking games and stop trying to force your ideas on to others, I don't care if you think it morally wrong, that's your problem.
There's the facts people, pirates don't like official mummy boys and official mummy boys don't like pirates, that's how it is, thread closed.

Well The Rock was in it and he seemed pretty badass back in the days when I was still a wittle boy XDThe Mummy was a good enough movie to get fanboys?
