Ah I make no apology for my Piracy and no justification because the way I see it now.

spending money to be entertained might be enjoyable but it conflicts with my desire to succeed at the game of life.

so stealing all entertainment saves me money. better put into the stock market.

I'm too selfish not to. And i'm not sorry. Driven to succeed no matter what I have to sacrifice to get there.

Hmmm... Okay, so back in high school I felt pretty much the same way.

Why waste money on music when it's available for free? The ethics of a child to be honest.

When I was in undergrad, my university was right next to the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence where all kinds of creative people were learning to sharpen their skills... and paying to do so. I learned from my RISD friends how important it is to respect copyrights.

Would you rob a bank to improve your personal financial situation? Oh why not? They're insured, right?

Would you shoplift from a retailer to ease pressure on your weekly budget? Sure! It's built into their pricing, right?

Would you rip-off your next door neighbor who left her door open?

Where does it stop?

I suggest a new moral code: Do not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate in your circle of friends those who do. (Adapted from the honor code at West Point Military Academy).

Thoughts?

@sarabee1995 If I could download a car I would. why care unless it's a starving artist?

@PDXNative1986 I pay more for music than I should because you steal yours.

I pay more for movies, TV shows, books because you steal yours.

Life costs me more because of you.

And is this because you are suffering somehow? Do you have some unique situation that places you at greater need? No. By your own admission, you are driven by your own greed and self-interest. What a great capitalist you are!!
