We can leave it open, as long as there is no discussion on how to pirate games. Needless to say (but I'll say it anyway) this thread will be watched closely.

Edited the wording of the survey a bit.
 
Well... i downloaded M&B and it was perfectly legal ::grin:

The thing is with music and movies, I personally don't feel there is anything wrong with downloading them as long as you are not going to sell them for a profit. (Yes the governments now all disagree with me lmao). Problem we have, is that most of the music and movies that I want, are either not available, or I would have to buy 3 CD's, even if I only enjoy one song in that specific album. I guess its more of a rant than a discussion on my part, but I would safely say that I have not downloaded, OR bought any movies / songs for the past year or so, because of this issue. (But I did manage to get a crap load of awesome songs after buying my friend's 'almost brand new' 5Gb MP3 player... ::grin:)
 
I voted the first, though there are REALLY few games wich i really want to support the makers. Then ill just buy them.

I hire movies, do not download them, it would take too long for me and the quality is less.

I think i havent buyed a music cd for as long as i remember.
 
I download alot of games just for the fact I'm poor but I usualy get rid of them fairly fast, mainly couse most dont entertain me long.

:twisted: I know its naughty so spank me. :twisted:
 
i voted for the preview thing, though 1-7 days isn't enough , i generally test games for 1-2 weeks before i decide to buy them, i never download music though (since most music stores allow people to listen to the cd:s before buying them), movies are best at the cinema but i do download movies from time to time since it only takes me around 25 minutes to download a 4GB DVD.
too bad there isn't a good online movie service that allows you to pay for dvd iso:s , if i feel like watching a movie i want to watch it now, even if its at 2am.

digital tv :grin:

my DTV provider doesn't have any payperview service (crappy bastards). thus that option isn't avaliable (its a great service for those who have it though)
 
Yeah I rent movie DVD's as well....

Then burn a copy onto another DVD or an image drive in my PC ::grin:
 
I dont download games caus of my bad conection. But i get my friend to download it and give it to me. But i usualy by my games if i like them like CIV 4 i got a coppy from my friend then i whent and bought the game.
Same with most of my games it sucks spending 500 swedish kronor (something like 69 $) on a game that you dont like.
 
i don't hear music like that and only rarely try to get movies(by downloading than), but with games it's a bit unclear because i'm not closed on how i should act. it usually depends on how much i think i would enjoy them- some i would buy right away, some i would try to download and buy if i fail(and i ususally fail, don't really know why), some i would just try to download. but i can't bring myself to buy something i already have(unless of course it's a rip, or damaged), even when it's one of my favorites...
 
I find downloading music is a great way to finding new bands that I like. Then I go out and buy their albums. :grin:

Downloading a movie, same thing as recording it on VCR when it's on tv, and that's where all movies end up sooner or later. Most movies are crap and not worth the money anyway, same as many many games.
 
I prefer do buy what i want. I don't fancy swindling the artists or makers out of their money. If I owned a shop, and i saw someone stealing something, i'd be pretty damn pissed about it, so therefore i don't steal from musicians or game makers.
 
I live by the golden 3 rules of never lying, stealing, or cheating and so far my life... has well.. actually sucked, so maybe I need to start doing some of those.
 
I download all popular music and I have no problem with it at all. Only when 'artists' start improving their quality and are less obsessed with money will they deserve better. 95% of people making music out there, from 50 Cent to Jennifer Lopez, Metallica, Coldplay whatever in my opinion deserve to be cheated, 1/ because they are losers and 2/ to discourage them from polluting the airwaves.
 
I only download things I won't buy. If I hear a game is good, I'll buy it. If I like the band, I'll buy the CD. If it's the latest roster update masquerading as the "new" Madden '06 or something, yeah, that's gonna be downloaded. I've spent all sorts on CDs I've only heard one song for or games that I just blindly took interest in only to be pissed off and $15-$50 poorer.
 
we directly see the diff, some people have money, saome people dont, however, ofcourse, i would like to just buy the things and support the makers. I am 15 without a job and -250euro (lended from parents), so i actually dot have a choice...

Its time to get meself a job....
 
I only download that music that I really can't be bothered to get a CD for, because I'd have roughly 200+CD's now :grin:

I also sometimes download older games either because I can't find them in any shop, or they're not worth buying because they aren't worth as much. Why waste £17.99 when you can download the game?

But I do buy new games in the shops.


That didn't make sense did it?
 
I don't really have time to download games, nor would I want to bother. As far as movies/shows are concerned, I only downloads shows that I miss on my _paid_ for cable (since I miss them often). Personally, I like best to download games that are purchaseable online, since that's most convenient for me.

Wow, you really couldn't make yourself sound like a bigger tit in one paragraph.
