Internet piracy is quite a debatable subject, and a lot of people have different opinions about it. Many argue that it is not only stealing, which technically yes, it is... but that it is morally wrong, no matter how easy or insignificant it may seem. Others argue the practical aspects of it, saying that some money lost from whatever music artist, director, will have no impact.
I for one, feel that it varies from case to case. If you have a big-name music artist who is making millions, is it such a bad thing that some pirated music of theirs may cause them to have to live with a golden toilet seat instead of a platinum one?
Also, a lot of software, while excellent, is way overpriced for the average person. I've always felt Adobe's products were really overpriced, and I know their products to be pirated extensively, I think in some cases more than they are actually bought.
So, what do you think?
