It obviously is if you're prepared to pirate to save money. And with the current system, money is life. Money buys food, water, shelter...

lol, this is getting interesting.
Is life a video game? no it isn't.

I never said that... their livelihood depends on that game.

Yes, I know.
But because of money, life is more like a video game.
Let's end this, It's getting more like an argument.

Re: Pirating - your opinions?

Ehh

They're filthy rich anyway. If the artist (I'm just assuming it's music) actually did something productive with their money like donate it to charities then I'd buy it, but all they do with their money is store it all up anyway, so I normally pirate my music unless it's by lesser-known artists who wouldn't be filthy rich.

But if they make good content, than they deserve to be filthy rich (unless they are doing things terrible things that you don't want to support, but than just buy used because it's legal).

And if you don't have enough money, than how come you can afford a computer and an Internet plan. Things like that are pretty expensive nowadays.

They have more than enough money anyway though.

But they wouldn't if people weren't buying their work.

If enough people with your mindset start saying how a certain artist is so filthy rich that you should just pirate them, less and less people obtain their music legally. So if you have plenty of people spreading this idea, eventually the money spent on creating the work does not get earned back or become profitable.

Movies incur loss all the time.

There'll always be people who buy it legally though, either because they believe it's the right thing to do or because they're so terrible with computers they can't pirate stuff (like my parents). If they want me to buy their music, they should start doing stuff like giving their money to charity, not keep it all to themselves

Re: Pirating - your opinions?

Well maybe if you don't have access to a certin album, you could pirate it, then go to the artist's webpage and donate.
