@Khuutra with your fancy words:
DO YOU THINK YOUR BETTER THAN ME!?

No, that summed it up about right, though I still consider piracy theft just because I'm difficult  (and FFXII sucks). :-p

Okay, cool. Now we know where both of you stand.

So.

Is there any point on which either of you would be willing to give?

Twesterm, is it ever morally justifiable to pirate games? Games that are out of print? Abandonware?

Scottie, is it ever unjustifiable to pirate games even when one lacks the means to pay for them? Does the fact that you would still need to pay for hardware matter?
