Well, at first there was shame and guilt. Cried a bit. But after the first few times you can pirate without remorse. After about 10 times, you can do it cheerfully.

I have never remorsefully pirated anything. :D
Nonsense, I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I just want to admit that I have twisted morals about software piracy. I pirate video games with little guilt but when I pirate music I feel really bad, like it's a sin.

I need therapy, guys.

I only would feel bad if the game was in circulation.

Since I never do that, I'm fine. :p

Also, I also get VG Music.

I'm a broke college student. Therefore, I pirate. In fact, I often have to for the sake of class. I don't much think the video rental store would be happy with me keeping a DVD for an exorbitant amount of time while I rewatch a film multiple times and take stills so I can do an analysis assignment.

If they ever release the last season of Pete & Pete, I WILL buy it. Not "might", WILL. In the meantime, I've been waiting over 5 years, so I've gotten fed up & torrented it.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Just ask Loot - he could've easily grabbed a torrent, but he bought the Steam version instead. He didn't have to do that. Hell, he doesn't even get better support because of it.
Well, to be fair, it was $.99 at the time.
