Buying vs Downloading for free, what's your stance? Options

[queen]

are you the type who downloads all your stuff or do you actually go buy and support the industries?

i'm annoyed with people telling me i'm stupid for actually buying my softwares, movies, games, and CDs. i'm sorry that i like having legit collections and the feeling of accomplishment when i buy something i've worked hard to save money for.

edit: if it's your thing to download, it's not my problem; i just really dislike it when people get on my case for not wanting to.

^ Yea and honestly, if you wait a year or so (depending on the game) you can get games for a pretty good price. Last Black Friday my bf got Resident Evil 4 for Wii for $20. Just sayin', that's all. Plus, there's plenty of games that really keep you busy for hours, which makes it so much better knowing that you bought it, that you'd enjoy it to the fullest.

For Blockbuster, eh I only use their online total access stuff, since I'm often too lazy to go to blockbuster. But it's cool since it's a one time fee and I can just add movies online. I mean, there was even a movie I couldn't figure out where it was (never even found it at my local blockbuster) so I had to add it to the online queue. I don't think they'll give me any free movies since many of the rates went down (I think there's 1.99 rentals or something!).

But damn, I miss when they would give us one free game rental per month. They took that away.
