But seriously i did my share of pirating specially during high school (Photoshop CS4, Music, Sony Vega, Some movies, Emus and Roms / Dont even get me started on the psp lol ) but i beyond that now for the most part. I try to support the things i like now specially music, movies, and video games.
Liar.
Everyone pirates. It's cool to do so. And you're cool, are you not?
I used to do it more than I do now, especially with games. God bless you, Steam sales.

I usually only do it if something is unavailable in my country. if I enjoyed it and it does become available somewhere along the line, I'll gladly purchase it.
I sometimes pirate things if they are available but are overly expensive, out of print, and/or really hard to find.

Mostly just music, for me. It's the perfect way to 'try before you buy', sort of. And if an album becomes one of my favorites, I'll buy the vinyl or a shirt or something to let the band know I appreciate what they're doing. If I had more money available, I would buy more music and support more bands; as it is, however, I can only support so many.

I don't! I don't really have a reason to.
I don't have piracy, because people get into my frickin business! Excuse my mouth, but should we all get some piracy?
You're confusing piracy with privacy, bro. What's referred to as "piracy" is the "illegal" downloading of music, movies, TV shows, etc.

Meh. The only piracy I've ever done is on Korean or Japanese music which is only because I can't get that stuff in U.S. and hey, I'm desperate. I'd easily pay for it though if it was available. But it's not so...
Other stuff, though, like movies, games, etc, I don't think you should pirate. I mean, with Redbox and Netflix, I don't see how movies are even a problem. Games I can kinda understand because gaming stores can be a rip off sometime but eh. Still available.

Except debt gets wiped out after 25 years, it doesn't affect my credit rating and I only have to owe it back once I get a job and earn over a certain amount.
So yeah. My debt, whilst frightening, probably won't be as bad as yours.
PS: Grants I don't have to pay back. And I get more grant than loan.
Except I haven't been using my loans to pay for luxury items, deary <3
I spent the loan money I had on stuff I needed. Money I spent on Luxury was the money I had beforehand.
Edit:
Okay. I'm going to stop this and allow the subject to get back on topic instead of me prattling on about me being in a better situation than you lot. But piracy is a very touchy subject for me because I want to grow up and create games, and it kinda hurts me when people contemplate pirating stuff on something that's going to be my career in the future.
I don't recall ever saying that you shouldn't use loans on luxury items. I said that if you live off of loans, you shouldn't be buying luxury items. That doesn't necessarily denote that you're spending loan money on luxury items.
With the money you spend on video games, why don't you, I don't know, pay off your loans?

archiving this post holy shit, best post of 2011, no, best post on this forum hands down. not even kidding. holyyy shit dude. nice work. props.
k. you go and do that, scuba-deary.
Anyway, apologies if I sound like a dick last night. I do get the reason why people pirate, I just got emotional because of tiredness and I'm more argumentative when in that state.
Also, can people stop deleting my post randomly? This shit is getting annoying.
