Here's some related issues:
- I can download a videogame from a private torrent tracker faster than I can download it from most download services even like steam.
- I usually know what movie I want to watch from the overhyped commercials. Given that I can find and download it, transfer it to my PS3 and watch it faster than I can find it, purchase it, download it, figure out how to play it on my TV via copyright protection which entails either some sort of encryption or inability to copy the file. Basically the pirate way is EASIER, more convenient, and no-risk. God help me if I buy a movie (for a ton of cash mind you) and don't like it. Return? HA!
- My TV is huge, ok I had it for 5 years now, and with all that I don't think 13/person going to the movies + popcorn and BS is worth it. I get the same experience at home, but FASTER and more convenient via piracy. Takeaway: Movies are ridiculously overpriced at this point.
- Using piracy, I am able to play games with ZERO DRM HEADACHES. No CDs in my drive. I don't have to be online to play. I don't have to install security holes into my computer. Piracy is safer than legitimate purchases.
- On the video game note: Video games are now going for 60 bucks!!! That's a commitment. If the game sucks, I'm out 60 f-ing bucks. Oh and downloading a demo takes as much time as pirating the whole damn game, more time actually. Worse are the freaken' sales. I feel like the game was hyped up to me, I want to play it, but in 10 days the price will drop by 20 bucks, ugh dilemma... piracy is easier.
