If I had the money, I wouldn't pirate.
But so as long as I stay a part-timer and a student,
the piracy will continue.

It's just so easy to pirate. It's a web search away. With the correct keywords and browsing, you can find almost anything. ___

But, I occasionally do support mangakas and such. :3

GEEZ!
Thanks for ratting me out!~ 🤣

I do NOT pirate software...except for Photoshop but everyone does!
I am NOT paying hundreds of dollars for that shiet. >.>

Music...I wish I could but I don't. There's only so much money I have. I don't have a credit card. They don't sell the music I listen to in-stores in this country. I can't buy them online...because I don't have a credit card.
I'm also cheap.
So I download music.
Unless I suddenly move to Korea or something, I'll keep pirating.
Who hasn't?

I do buy manga raws sometimes...but that's just so I can scan it and scanlate it. 🤣
I've bought licensed manga before too though!

[The reason why i dont general pay for stuff]
When to the store the other day to but a HiMC album "to support the industry", price was 99euro for it... do you want to have it solde or not? Especially when you are only interested in a couple of the songs...

I pirate some music, rarely buy CDs. I do buy LPs though. I got anime and films on DVD and BD and watch sometimes on TV but very rarely buy any myself. I got manga too, but mostly they're what I get from other people. I pirate a little anime and some manga. The software I use is free or pirate. Sometimes get some games from my friends, never pirate them otherwise.

yea, it's efficient and nice.

I don't have the money nor do I want to spend that much for something that can be obtained for free.
Therefore, I love pirating.

Quote from secretdesires

I do it all the time and I'm not ashamed of it.
Even if I can afford it 😐
The only thing I don't pirate is console games

Pretty much this.

Third. I download old school games and arcade games for MAME, but you should already know why I don't download console games.

AAALWAYS. Sometimes when I feel like it Ill buy things on Itunes.
If I really like something I'll go out and buy it.

I collect manga so I tend to buy it as soon as it comes out. Full support there.

I'd buy my programs if they weren't so expensive. 😐
I bought Final Cut Studio because I need it for school and it will be useful after school in the business world so having a legal copy was important.
I have a downloaded copy of Photoshop for Scanlating but I'm planning on buying and adobe kit that includes PS and Illustrator... both which I also need for school.

The nice thing is my college book store sells everything half price.
Final Cut Studio: Regular $1000
I Paid: $500

Adobe Photoshop/Ilustrator: Reg $600
I will pay: $250

Such a good deal. 😀

Everyone in my family does practically, which also means me.
... Except for my mom maybe. She's illiterate at downloading things.

However we'll go out and buy what we need when it is necessary, or desperate.
