-Why I Pirate- Is piracy justifiable?

[lordmandeep]

Piracy is wrong, however I still do it as I use the cost benefit analysis.

Go and buy a dumb film for 20 dollars or download it in a few mins and watch it for free?

I think piracy has had a big effect. The Hollywood box office is only decent due to increased prices and 3D however admissions are all down. However the overseas markets is booming.


It has effectively killed the dvd market as sure online is big but nowhere as profitable as DVD's were.

I download movies mostly, never for games for consoles as Its too hard, also I do buy apps for the Iphone and I only download old games for the PC like Age of Empires 2 or Rome Total War.
Music, its weird you can so easily take YouTube songs and make MP3's that it does not seem illegal at all. Is it?


Piracy is huge but mostly in the under 30 group. I know very few who do not do it but its mostly from teens and young adults with not much money. Ever since I started working with the bank, I spend more on entertainment (more apps and more going to a theater)
