Anyway, I think the interesting thing is....you cannot fully justify piracy, but do you really have to? I mean, do millionaires really need more money? Realistically speaking, people on this board need money more than they do, I think, so naturally it's kind of silly to assume that copying something (not stealing it, as stealing would imply taking it out of possession of the owner) is hurting these people in any way. While I'm sure there are some pirates who are doing it horribly (pirating, selling it on the blackmarket) and others who use stupid reasons to justify it (fuck that company, I'm not giving them my money but still want to play it, or it's not worth it blah blah), the fact of the matter is that most pirates are people who wouldn't have paid for it anyway. Let's put it simply: most people are basically honest, if they can afford something they will buy it or pay for it and not feel any remorse. It's the people who can afford it but simply chose not to that make all 'pirates' look bad. As my example from earlier shows, I am certainly the former. if I have money, I buy it. I should show you guys a picture of my DVD shelf, I've got a LOT of stuff there and I get more whenever I can. Hell, I got my tax return last year and myPS3 list went from I think 31 games to now 72 games. More than doubling it. some of those were review copies I got from the site for review purposes, but I caught a lot of really good deals. Some on sale, some discounted, some used, and only a few I paid full price for...but I paid for them all legit. I think I'm rambling. carry on! |
