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. |

I'd buy a bands album if I'm at a show or if their music is god-sent and I just need to have an album or two.
Otherwise, for any form of media or programs, I download. I am not a record company, a struggling musician, or a producer. I do not know these people I'm supposed to support. I know me, and I know that I will benefit from downloading for free. I do not feel guilty. Maybe I should, but I don't. And I'm sure many of you don't feel sorry either, but falsely admit to it because you feel like you're supposed to be. Have it your way. Downloaders are downloaders regardless of their intentions. |

ARIEL!  I have to agree with you on that...I haven't bought a cd in a long, long time. But yes, if I really like them or something, I will, but thats still pretty rare. I'm a cheap-ass. And same with software. I got the entire Adobe CS3 off my friend for free...
