I pirate what I must, but music I get from iTunes because it's convenient. I have netflix for movies. I will pirate the British TV I can't get in original form here, and I pirate apps that I cannot afford *cough* photoshop *cough*. I also pirate programs I can't find ANYWHERE, mostly older software. Also, I refuse to pay 400$ to some schmuck on ebay for Leopard, especially when it retailed for less than half that.
Got a tip for us?

Your ears must just be crap then...
Haha, doesn't bother me. All my music is 256 so it sounds great to me
. It's probably from all those rock concerts I went to and didn't protect my ears haha.
I don't, but my hubby does.
And NOW he is starting to tear apart PCs and XBox 360s and mess with them. His own lil' hobby, I guess.
The one and only thing I didn't feel bad about him pirating was adobe photoshop...does it REALLY need to cost that much??? REALLY!?!?!?? I'm gonna need it for the mac when I get it next yr, and will probably have to buy it. darn.
As an artist myself, I feel bad for pirating stuff...I would be PISSED if people were stealing ym work...I fought with hubby about it for a long time but I lost the battle...So he put his pirated stuff on the family computer and/or his computer out in the garage, but NOT MINE!! Now he's got his garage computer torn apart and I HAVE to use the family computer...arg

Music is probably the only thing i do buy because most of the piratable music is generally american top 40 billboard charts and i dont care for mostof that music.
and i feel no need to justify my piracy to anyone myself included.
