Damn straight. I pirate PC software, and I pirate it on a daily basis. I pirate music CDs, and do it on a daily basis. I pirate motion picture movies whenever I get pissed off at my local movie theater for being anal jerk offs. I have my reasons, as well. PC software is too damn expensive. No, I won't pay $200 for some program that I need for the general purporse of resizing an image or changing its quality. Nor will I pay $50 or $40 for it. I will not pay $20 to purchase a cheepishly made piece of shit that has one sole function, which is converting and renaming file names in batches -- the most I'd pay is $5 - so kiss my ass and blow me, I'll just steal that shit. *Fires up Kazaa > downloads serial number > cracks crappy overpriced software*.

I don't pirate videogames, because...well I have no reason to. I get them all for free, and besides this industry is treating me like gold. Movies...I'm a frequent movie goer, my collection of movie ticket stubs dating back to 1999 speaks for itself. Though, last week I was very pissed off at my movie theater. The *******s there KNOW me. They know I'm nearly 18 years old. But no, I don't have my ID on me, and because Lazer is a 1 month short of 17 they won't let us enter. Are you kidding? **** you! We leave the theater, and we went to eat. At the pizzeria, I said to Lazer, "Steal that shit. They piss on us, we shit on them".

Last year, Lazer and I went to go to see Resident Evil, and we had Lazer's dad (my uncle) come with us to purchase the tickets. The guy at the booth wouldn't give a 40 year old man the tickets. Why? He says he had to watch the movie with us, or we can't go in. So we raise a big issue out of it. Those dirty *******s giving us shit? Telling my own unclue, and Lazer's father, what we can and CANNOT watch? You have GOT to be shitting me! This is our guardian, and HE tells us what we can watch, not some wanker at a movie theater.

After a big comotion, Lazer's dad dropped us off at my house. I went in, picked up my High School ID which had a fake date of birth on it (1984, instead of 1985). So we went back, I used my ID to purchase two tickets, and those shit faced bastards gave me the tickets (Lazer stood off to the side). Reasons like that are reasons why Lazer and I decide to download movies off the net.

MP3s...meh, whatever. A vast majority of internet users download MP3s, though I happen to be the more conservative MP3 downloader. I have over 1000 MP3, and ironically enough, I have pretty much every CD to accompany them. So, I do still purchase music CDs, as well as download MP3s...so I'd say I'm not really stepping over any boundries here. But, RIAA needs to stop being such blind and ignorant dipshits. MP3s have done nothing but good for the industry. The music industry continues to expand, and has grown roughly 13% over the past 2 years. Music sales continue to skyrocket. Linkin Park's CD was one of the most downloaded CDs ever, though the album managed to sell over 6 million copies, in the US alone...Hmmm.
