Exactly what is says on the title. In which ocassions do you think piracy is justified, if not beneficial?

Stuff like MAME ROMs since many arcade games cant be found on consoles...

Situations like where I had bout a copy of Red Alert 2 about TEN times over the course of a decade (and kept losing/selling them). I'd earnt that right to just have it for free!

Other than that, nothing else springs to mind.

In all cases (joking, calm ur tits)

When I own the game or its freakishly old or its not available for purchase in my region

When you live in a country that doesn't offer any means to aquire the products legitimately. Also you may be poor and will never ever have a way to enjoy anything in your entire life, because you can't afford it. I support both, if it's for personal use.

When it's almost impossible to get said game/console to play for whatever reasons.

Its still not legal...

I'm sure it is, it's called a back-up copy.

None. Absolutely never.

If you pirate stuff you're a thief. It's as simple as that.

I'm not going to sit here and pretend my hard drive isn't full of copyrighted material, but I'm also not going to say I had any right to it. I stole it.

when there's no pc demos for games like AC Unity and Dead rising 3. <-- personal experiences.
