Does anyone even pay legit money to be able to download and watch movies these days??

Yep. I have blockbuster online. Not all of us are pirates, and in fact, some of us are disgusted by pirates and think of them as nothing more than common criminals and petty thieves.

I'm better than a pirate. I know that much.

At the risk of going off topic but;

-Do you know of ANYONE who has lost their job over piracy?

-Has there been news of CEO's and higher-ups no longer making millions to billions a year that I am unaware of?

-Is everyone, including the billions in third world countries capable of paying for these services without selling their kidney's? Or should they be condemned for not adding another few bucks (which would risk their very survival) to the fat wallets of company CEO's already bathing in cash?

It's not who it effects, it's the quality of a person that would steal just because they can. Looters of the computer age. If you can't afford something, don't buy it. Especially if it is a luxury item, like a movie. I want a Super-Bowl ring, should I just go out and steal one of those?

Oh, the poor third world conutrymen who can't get netflix. Give me a break. The majority of these pirates are middle-class tweens who steal them because it's free.

They are taking advantage of the technology of our age, which isn't advanced enough to police itself.

I might not be much, but I don't steal from anyone, just because I can, no matter how rich they are.

I'm a better human being than that.

If you pirate, then pirate, I could care less. Just don't come complaining to me when I no longer respect you. It's the price you pay when you choose a life of meaningless and unnecessary thievery, which costs me and my friends rights and privelages that can't be bestowed upon everyone because there are people who would take advantage of it.

Pirating movies, music, games, anything like that, is stealing. It's robbery. It's unnecessary. It's meaningless and wrong. Don't you dare try to pretend it's the same thing as someone stealing a loaf of bread to feed their family.

 

 

Now, certainly, I pirated before. Napster. It was wrong, I was young, I didn't understand the world. I believe in redemption. However, I don't believe in piracy. I think it's wrong, and the people who do it should pay.
