What I mean by this is that a rescent study shows that those who fileshare are also those who buy most music CD's for an example. This becuase people want to support a certain musician, when they have downloaded his/her's music and like it.
It's the same with myself. If I donwload a game for free, and I like it, then I buy it. This because I want to support the game developers.
I don't see downloading as stealing more then listening to the radio in public.
I fully agree, all the video games that I own have been bought after I illegally downloaded the game from a torrents site and played it. If i like a game I will buy it to support the developers and to take pride in having the original game on my shelf. Same thing happens with the music albums.

If it would be legal, for example to record Family Guy, than the company that produces it wouldn't sell DVDs with it, wouldn't they?
Personally, it's not God I dislike, it's his fan club I can't stand.
