Piracy!
Do you or would you ever support piracy?
In the Philippines, piracy has become a part of....life here. Since most people aren't that rich, they usually buy cheaper, pirated versions of movies, games, clothes, bags, etc. I admit that I too, have bought from "pirates". Have you?

its distribution thats frowned apon!

we all have 2 make sacrifices 4 the things we want with our limited resources
it would be great if i could play every wii/ds/ps2 game & listen to every jpop cd, but i can't (legally)
i know if i download or buy copies of the games or cds, i'll be taking money from the makers of the very things that i like

downloading is against the law. i was told that when you buy something, its not so much the (lets say)game you buy, but more the distribution contract (although, in a very real sense, you get the game)
when you buy a game, you are pretty much signing a contract saying that you will not share the contents of this illegally with anyone.
p.s, i never pirated either

ill explain it for you!
when you buy a piece of software (game of otherwise)
you do not buy the software itself, you merely buy a right/license to use it in your personal home!

my parents bought dvd's from the gypsy market here, but i hate them, their pirated, but that's not why, the quality just sucks big time...
i don't buy any pirated items, but i do download, mainly because a lot of things i like isn't for sale here, language problems, or overpriced compared to other countries, and i wouldn't be able to afford it, or a game that's not for sale anymore because it's too old (FF8)
i mainly download music, because i can't find any good cd's around here, i honestly looked everywhere, and all i can find is stinking (c)rap, and portuguese fado (makes dogs howl)
and i'm a great fan of music, couldn't live without it...
and some bands aren't known in europe (yet) so i download their cds because there wouldn't be another way of getting them...
then there's anime, i like my anime like i like my women, natural and japanese.
you can't get all the anime here, and if you can they're dubbed...
but i wouldn't sell anything i've downloaded... that's for sure...
