1) Do you live in a country considered to be of the "first world"?
Yes.
2) Do you think Piracy is 100% evil?
No.
3) If you do not consider Piracy to be pure evil, can you explain what would be the good side of it?
Piracy helps brand awareness. People low on money get to experience new things and people not low on money may be pushed to buy products they otherwise wouldn't have. People have the chance to test things before they buy.
4) Do you think Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony are not making enough money?
No.
5) Suppose a developer or a videogame publisher goes bankrupt (just like in any other business), do you feel guilty because you didn't buy enough original games from them?
No. They sure don't feel sorry for trying to rip me off, I don't see why I would feel sorry for them either.
6) Do you think that all people who use Piracy to play videogames could perfectly pay full retail price but they just decided not to do so?
No.
7) Do you think that for every illegal copy made of a game publishers dont sell one original game?
No.
8) Would you agree with me if I said that I have 50 illegal copies of different games is because I just chose not no pay full price of 50 different original games?
No. Well, I don't really know you so it is possible but it's more likely the answer is no.
9) So... that is basically how publishers calculate how much money they would have made if people had no options but to buy originals, right?
I'm not a publisher, I can't answer this. But yes, this is pretty much the way publishers try to present piracy to the public.
10) So If I am plannig on getting around 50 pirated games within the next 12 months but somehow the industry finds out a way to completely stop piracy I will end up paying full price for those games 50 games and the Industry will instantly make more money, right?
No.
11) What would be good about a world 100% free of Piracy?
Some people would be more likely to get the profit they deserve.
12) You are a gamer, right? So you love videogames, but imagine a world where games are very expensive. Lets say 200 dollars for a videogame. Would you do no matter what to get them? Would you still be a gamer? Would you still buy the same amount af games?
'No matter what' is a strong expression - too strong. I wouldn't do anything for games. The question is too vague anyway, though. I would never buy a $200 game unless it had enough content to keep me happy for years. But what about indie games and such? If all games cost $200, I would be a gamer no more, though.
13) In the third world hardware is sold basically because it is fully hacked now and people can easyly play illegal copies, do you agree with this?
No comment. I don't know the market in the third world. I'd have to look into pricing there to be able to answer this question.
14) Do Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo look the other way because the keep producing last gen hardware to be sold in the third world knowing that it will be used to play pirated games?
I'm not sure about your point. Also, I'm not sure what to answer here because, as I said, I don't know the market in third world countries.
15) Do you really think that piracy is a threat to the very existance of movies, books, music and finally videogames? (Last time I checked I still can buy any of those)
No.
16) How can this be personal? I mean, you only buy originals... good for you! But how can Piracy stop you from fully enjoy your hobbie?
It's not personal.
17) And finally... If you DO NOT consider Piracy to be 100% pure evil, can you explain what would be the good side of it?
See the previous question regarding the same thing.
