The "never going to buy anyway" rationale always cracked me up.
Can you go into Foot Locker and put on some expensive Nike basketball shoes, say "I'm keeping these, because I wasn't going to buy them anyway", then walk out?
It would be jail time.
here's where a digital thief responds with, "yeah, but a movie is a copy of the original. You can't make copies of the sneaker" -- some other dumbass double talk bullshit.
A product is a product. One goes on your feet to help you play better basketball -- the other goes in your ear and eyeholes to be processed by your neurons and give you a woody.
