Pirating is something which I do myself. I feel that paying the $10 for a movie ticket, and then paying another $10 for over priced snacks is not worth it. Hundreds of movies come out in a year, and I'd like to watch all of them. Unfourtunately, this is not within my ability. My wallet is simply not big enough. There are also thousands of artists and bands out there. I cannot buy every single one of their tracks.

iTunes is one of the several attempts to cure piracy. My own opinion is that it has done nothing but promote piracy even further. Average high school students have over 4000+ songs. iTunes sells each song for about $1. It is so much more easier to simply go online and download all the movies and music you want to enjoy, not worrying that you have made a bad choice and wasted your money.

Right now, BitTorrent is an amazing program. Everything, anything you want is literally a click away. I think that I am not the only one in this world who share the same views as me on pirating movies and music. Sometimes buying DVD's at like Walmart is rather difficult as well.

When downloading software, I do not hold any limitations on myself on what I usually download. If the program truly helps me alot, or simplifies a task for me, I will be more than glad to pay for it. The problem is, for example, Photoshop CS 3, the cost and the amount of usage. If I have to download a $300 program to use for 6 hours of homework, I am surely not going to buy the program.

As for pirating games, I simply do not get addicted to a game. I dont find games that provide me with enough fun, to motivate me to buy it. $60 for a game that I may spend 10 hours on at max, just doesn't make the cut. I find that being able to try a game, see if its fun, see if you can play it on your computer before buying it, is much better than just buying something you cant return and leave it lying.
