there is a difference between cheap and poor....im already paying for an appartment, school, and ocational gram or 2, not to mention i dont have a job(thanx mom and dad)...i cant afford to blow another 60$ to play the newest game. I can buy windows, all i use it for is games, and other then that, its linux. I use teh free alternative where possible, IE linux, open office, but things that arnt free i can get, so i have to download them, so im not cheap, im not like...thahhaa...take that video game industry....i just cant afford to buy the games and software, so i download it...
all this means, is that the torrents are gone, so now just anyone will be able to get whatever they want. Maybe its a blessing in disquise. All the people that know what they are doing, will still be able to get what they want...via IRC and such...this just means taht this will not be available to the masses anymore, so maybe the MPAA other folks will lay off...and let us geeks be in out IRC channels.
There are only some poeple that know how to use IRC, this means that less people know about it, means is less main stream, and means we can stay hidden longer....c u there.....
