I honestly hate pirating, it's something I cannot understand why people with plenty of money doing it, most of their excuses is "Because I can, it's there". That does not justify, but I can't seem to convince some people. I live in the UK, I am not in the same more difficult circumstances as Aziz here. I don't even use Youtube Converter, the only reason I would ever pirate something is if it was impossible to get it any other way.

I used to stream/download everything when I was younger. I feel that now there are services like Netflix and Bandcamp I really have no need to. I was watching a show on TV the other day and was actually surprised to see a ad break. You can have my £6 a month just don't interrupt my 3 hour binge with some product placement!

I buy everything now days, as mentioned in a previous post, I can't be bothered with all the viruses etc. Plus it's wrong anyway.

I try to buy what I can, though piracy does happen every once in a while...

I personally think "Emulation" is a good thing.

The only reason I can see a benefit in pirating is when you can play an Ultra Rare game and see whether it's worth the price or not.

I also heard that most pirates buy the movie/game after they've "demoed" it.

Personally for me, I like my experiences on a physical front, so if I ever do "emulate" something, it's for demo purposes only...however, not everyone is made of money, so taking a punt on Collectors Editions is risky without actually demoing games.

When the international trading model changes into small business sale, wholesale corsets are very popular and easy no matter on Europe or America. And most ladies like to match the fashion corset with wholesale stockings to build up slender shape.

How about when you buy a game or movie and it breaks should U have to buy another noooooooooo. That should be allowed to be honest. But what about fanhacks this count here?

Hm i ask me a thing i am able via plugins to put Youtube links into my Mediaplayer. I just get the Stream from the internet so i don't think i am doing piracy is that true or wrong? I say it is an internet stream to my PC no illegal sites no downloads only links that are loaded in foobar/vlc instead of youtube.
