piracy

what is your opinion on piracy?

By that i mean making copies of DVDs, CDs, games, downloading songs "illegally," downloading movies, programs illegally.

Does anyone do any or all of these? Has anyone actually never done any of those that i listed above?

I just started this topic to see what everyones' thoughts are on this sort of stuff.

My opinion is that as long as you don't make copies to sell or download a program illegally to create things that you will be paid for, it isn't that bad.

It all started with Napster back in 1999 with the sharing of mp3s. Now practically every teen I know downloads songs, makes copies of DVDs, makes copies of borrowed CDs, etc via Kazaa, Torrent, limewire, etc.

After some other people have posted (if there is any interest), I will post some more of my opinions on the subject
