The moral of this story
Many of you who actually used this thing will have come up with totals in four digits or higher. But do you actually HAVE that much money? Have you ever? And if you did have the money, would you have bought all that stuff legitimately? Even if it was a simple download? I doubt it.

The point I'm making is that only a small percentage of illegal downloads are in fact lost sales. Piracy isn't theft. It's piracy. There's a big difference.

My story is even more sad. I'm downloading all the season 2 episodes of LOST, but I know that when the DVDs come around for sale, I'm going to buy them. I downloaded bunches of season 1 Battlestar Galactica, and I bought the boxed set of season one. Does that still count as piracy?

I do that all the time. Same with cds, loads that i've downloaded i've actually bought as well.

solo1 · 05-28-2006, 05:01 PM

So I may be sad, but I'm not alone.

Yay!

I think a few people do that, I do too. Downloading TV I have no issue with anyway, its just a matter of time / place shifting...
