Never downloaded or used anything pirated, film, music, game, program and sacked two employees on the spot for doing it on the office servers.
Some of the reasons given here for pirating are laughable. In truth there is one reason and one reason only people pirate. They think they won't get caught.

Precisely... You also forgot the under 30's laughable belief that they are owed everything and shouldn't have to pay for anything.
There is not one excuse in this thread that justifies the illegal downloading of content, whether it be movies, mp3's or porn. The excuse of wanting to see if it is any good is a load of shit. Just because YOU didn't like it and DON'T end up buying it you STILL fucked someone out of their money. PERIOD!
It would be very interesting to see if any of the people think this behaviour is acceptable who also complain about THEIR content being stolen and used on tubes. Better yet, how many of them OWN tubes and are ALREADY robbing others in this industry.
Play it how you like, justify it all you want in whatever twisted moral code you live your life by. Stealing is stealing no matter what face you put on it or excuse you attach to it.
