So, what are your opinions on the matter? Commercial piracy, "free" piracy, P2P-networks, Torrents, downloading music, movies, tv shows, there's a lot of different aspects to this, so how do you feel on the matter?

I don't do it. To me, that's why some movies don't get sequels and stuff like that because someone will go into the theater and tape the movie and then sell it online...which results in no money for the company, actors, or anyone else involved. Which then results in bad box office results, which results in no sequels...
Same goes for music...I mean this is how these people make their living. I download songs off the internet, sure, but that's always because the album hasn't came out yet, and as soon as it does, I go and buy it.
That's like someone coming into you bank, getting in your account and just taking money out of it. I guess that's why it's called "piracy" and "stealing".
I've never downloaded a movie or a tv show. BUT! I'm not against anyone who does it, it's just not my personal preference.

well i have no idea how to download unreleased movies. i never will anyway. i like buying the dvds cause i like to watch the extras. as for music, theres the risk of downloading a virus onto my PC. it happened to a friend of mine and i like my PC too much to get a virus on this. my reasons may not be as honorable as toxin's but at least i don't do it lol.

I've bought bootleg videos before but I only will if the movie is out of the theaters and I can't wait for it to be released on DVD, thats how I saw 300 and Clerks 2 the first times. They usaly don't have good sound or the screen is blurry or someone's blocking the view of the camera or some other reason, so I end up buying the DVD when it's released anyway. Plus the guy I get my bootlegs from charges only about $3 for one and if it's close to the DVD release he'll give you some for free.
As for TV shows and music, I don't do it and I don't care about who does.
