-Why I Pirate- Is piracy justifiable?

[Cypher1980]

I sometimes pirate but only when I feel justified in doing so.

Two pirating "justifications"

============================================
Major recent Film about Monkeys getting above their station.

Wanted to watch this as a streaming rental. Something I do a lot and am happy to pay for. Im not at all into owning the physical media as I havent got the room to store DVD's and havent the memory of a goldfish.
One viewing is quite enough for me.

Anyway I know its been released by the rights holder for Streaming consumption as a friend watched it the other night. I access my provider to order the movie but its not there !!!!

One quick phonecall later and I find out that a company has paid the rights holder for a months exclusivity.

OH NO YOU DONT !

Me+Torrent Search+20Mbps internet connection = watching movie 45 mins later.

=========================================================
Burning Rom Software

I needed a new Internal DVD drive and after much comparing and contrasting I plumped for a retail version which came with Burning ROM software. It cost a bit more because of the software but what the hey. I like to get a good deal and I needed the software

I install drive and software. All good until the software is fired up and reports its some gimped LITE version which basically wont do anything like Burn a DVD. Helpful pop up informs me its 150 USD to upgrade.

I am now pissed. Check box to see if Ive been silly and missed something. No box states Free Copy of Burning ROM included.

Flyer inside the sealed box reveals the god awful truth. Sofware is a cut down version and I've just been mugged.

OH NO YOU DONT !

Me+Torrent Search+Fast Internet Connection = Fully featured software installed 2 hours later.

====================================================================

Everything else I pay for.
