When I spend 60 dollars on a shitty game for my wife (Sims2) then the first disk gets messed to the point of not being able to install the game what do you do?
I tried emailing EA (bahahahahaha) No response.
If it weren't for a copy of the game on the internet that I downloaded I would be screwed out of my money because of a few scratches and crappy software support.
I for one am glad that this and all media is out there for people to use for legitimate reasons.
As an amateur musician, I also support file sharing as a way of getting out new or hard to find music.
The people who bitch about pirating are multi millionaires. *snif* *snif*
OOhhh you took.3 dollars out of my 300 million dollar paycheck....please.
If I pirate an album and the artist bitches I'll mail them a check for 25 cents because that's what they get if I buy their album. The company who releases it can suck me. 15-20$ for a cd that cost you 10 cents to burn?!!?! Yeah I'm crying for your losses.
In addition CD sales aren't dropping because of piracy they're dropping because your music is crap.
Also, selling songs online nets them more per track than selling cds and they don't even have any overhead for printing the media in the first place.
In short
RIAA = GREEDY SCAMMERS
Viva La Pirat
This still will happen in one form or another...from crafting slimy legislation to WGA tricks MS is was and will continue to be a slimeball of a company.

He is a witness to the crime of police harassment and the breaking of search warrant laws....this tape cannot be used against him because it is evidence of police wrongdoing!!!
