when i download stuff its usually music, or sometimes a movie (maybe 1 a month). sometimes i download psp games, i barely ever download pc games (not new ones anyways) since my laptop isnt good enough.
i did try out the iTunes store - it's good if you only ever use iPod or iTunes, only 128kbps so its average quality. the biggest pain is if you put the songs on a usb, then the itunes on the other computer u have to authorize and onyl allowed to authorize up to 5 comps, can only burn to cd X times, other stupid stuff like that. So i would probably buy a CD over getting the album on itunes, at least i can rip the cd to whatever quality mp3 (no bloody drm)
ages ago when i was one of the few in my school with broadband i used to burn movies onto cd and sell them for like $5 at school. then i sorta got busted (not me particularly, a senior teacher mentioned it at assembly)
"I do buy Bootleg DVD Movies"
how can you pay for those, how much did you pay anyway, i wouldnt pay more than $2 a movie (cost of disc) cos they are getting it for free...
I dont think theres any difference between 1 song and a movie or a game, piracy is piracy. But you hear about such crazy things with RIAA like suing that 12 year old girl and making her pay $2 a song or something. ( x 1000) source
thats just nuts.
