Thought this might be an interesting poll, I myself never buy anything. Download everything through torrennts.

EDIT: I have Ratio: 3.062   UL: 27.XX TB  DL: 8.XX TB  Buffer: 18XX TB  on torrentleech.org. That's a lot of money I'd owe Smiley

I very rarely ever download indie developers' stuff because they always represent their product honestly with gameplay videos and such, however when it comes to publishers I'll pirate just to piss them off, I hope they all go to consoles and leave PC gamers alone.

Very often, and if I do buy it, I usually still use the pirated version unless it's obscure and not frequently updated. Microsoft OSes, for example, I'd never want to use a legit key for - they're a PitA, so I have a bunch of purchased keys or keys which came with a laptop, and in the latter case, the first thing I do is to replace it with a pirated copy.

Music, I almost exclusively use Pandora for, but will sometimes buy an album or donate if I like the artist (but still have no use for it). It's unusual for me to watch movies... we DVR some things on TV, though. Have thought about ditching satellite TV service, but even with pre-amp, outdoor antenna, and using TVfool, we only get a couple public stations.

Live in a country where it's legal?

I personally can't see a reason to download when I can just stream what I want to watch.  I've been intrigued to downloading and saving some films but I just haven't really had a good reason to do that just yet.  Maybe I'm just spoiled and want to save space on my computer.  Cool

Mostly music, although I always try to listen to the musics on a playlist on youtube(the author of the content gets paid not only the channel) and movies, but only the ones that my friends come like "OMG YOU MUST WATCH IT".

For small apps I always try to buy, although I most of the times I want to a single, so no there is no point for me to pay 6.99$ for a single day of use of an aplication. For games I have 90% of them bought(some of them I play the pirated version, but its because I'm too lazy t odownload the game all over again). For the SO I have it totaly not pirated, but I control the update of it, so it doesn't tear apart my laptop.

Like all the time. The average pay in this country is horrible and the situation overall. Look at the newer games, 60-70 euros (!); once can't afford this when we can barely survive here.
The software that I use for video rendering, music (up to a few thousand euros!) is even worse. Should I be restricted to their use because I can't afford it? No thank you.

Why would you people admit to committing felonies on a talk forum? You Do realize the NSA,F.B.I.,CCIA,Interpol and other such organizations watch this forum? I'm pretty sure Downloading bootleg copies of anything is Illegal every where in the world.

Your Information is readily available to be turned over by theymos if asked to do so by Law enforcement he has already said this before.

Good luck with your confessions lol

Lolwut do you think the NSA and the FBI will make the seals take you to US ground to be judged for downloading pirated contend?

They will need proof people did it, and a confession in a forum is not enough for that, of course.

Plus as far I know the people that have the copyright need to complain first to the authorities come after you, it is not something the State can make by its own initiative, at least in part of the world.

Plus anyone here probably already took conceal measures to avoid being identified, even with full cooperation of the forum owner
