Answer 2

I Mostly download My games and then If I like them i Buy them!

I have around 7 Original game copies Yeah I'm not rich!

Answer 3

even though some people consider it yes.

i dont i mean unless the artist is so rich to were he can say he doesnt want his music on the enternet to be downloaded okay but if its able to be downloaded like nogomi then i will keep on downloading from nogomi lol

Answer 4

may be in some cases like downloading an album ( songs) as you are supposed to buy them so the artisit wouldnt get broke

Answer 5

Everyone is trying to s***w you, especially the big corporations.  So when I get a chance to s***w "big business" I feel no guilt.  If I could rip off every company in the fortune 500 without getting caught, I wouldn't even hesitate.  They didn't get big by having a conscience - so why should I?

Answer 6

i don't think downloading is stealing if it's for free so u r not the one who stole if it's illegal so it's the web builder 's fault

Answer 7

I never thought that way, i download & crack all the time & i feel zero guilt about it, am i insensitive ?

Answer 8

NO NO downloading programs as trial periods and demo games isn't stealing but downloading torrent files with cracks and serials for progs and games that's stealing

And as for the songs they are bought by those sites the more songs they buy the more companies that advertise on these sites

And why is this in the Egypt section?

Answer 9

Answer 12

Well i definitely think it is stealing. I kind of have rules when downloading pirated stuff.

If it's like a new singer or sth who could use all the help s/he gets or a low-budget movie I don't download it. But when it comes to games they are really overpriced in Egypt and I can't afford to buy a game every month and throw it away after a couple of weeks. I do occasionally buy pc games and psp games (I'm too freaked out about downgrading it) but I can't buy all the games I want when I wan them so I just go the easy (and wrong) way.

Come to think of it though, with the massive makers of GTA for example, I don't think we (those who download cracked games) really pose a real problem.

I don't know.
