Hope these gives you an explanation how us pirates do stuff. Many people like you think pirates only pirate and never buy in their life... but you are just blind, very blind. I have repeated this word way too much now.
Yes, you have repeated it way too much. To the point it's starting to get insulting.

This is the problem. Pirating devalues the movies and programs in the pirates minds. No data is as good or valuable in your head when you get it for free. People DL games, play for ten minutes and erase them saying "that sucked" because they have put no personal investment into it. Mentally you are a different person than an honest consumer or fan. DVDs and games seem expensive to you because in your mind they are worth almost nothing. That isn't true for me because I know how much work goes into making a movie or game. They cost money for a reason. They are expensive to make.
