    O drat. I was hoping you meant a REAL pirate. Like on the ocean.

    Arrrrh matey, now my parrot is verrrry disappointed!

    but no. I use to download pirated music, then my computer got stolen. I figure that's karma right there. My downloads are all legal now.

        and of course there's youtube.

        i don't consider copying youtube vids to be pirating.
        it's up to youtube and the copy-write holder to block those vids.

          Same. I go Spotify myself. It's legal because they get the revenue stream from adverts (unless you pay for the full bazinga in which case that becomes the revenue stream). However, I was just amused by the thought of you with a parrot on your shoulder and talking like a pirate. Angel_with_a_Peg_Leg. Where did you disappear to, by the way? It's nice to have you back.

            I come and go. and i was busy as hell for a while when they had us working a butt ton of hours at work (tax free weekend).

            hmm. i also like epitonic but they don't let you download anymore. still you can sample for free. they have deals worked out with the artists in question

    I'm a 'pirate', I just wish I felt more guilty about it.

        I'm very surprised nobody said that before me actually.

        But you should see me in my ninja costume. Look up Beverly Hills Ninja movie box art. I totally did that move.

    I buy used copies of original CDs, generally from thrift stores or the library. It's legal where I am.

    Otherwise, I only listen to artists that give their songs out for free anyway. I love them dearly.

    As for movies, I tend to rent or to the theatre.

    The most serious I have ever done or even considered is You Tube vids. I have never downloaded films etc from anywhere else.

    Now Johnny Depp is another matter ;)

    I vote for "I'm a pirate with the intention of allocating my money to more important, physical things." If only women were software, you know?

    If pirate means "Black Market" Shopping, then I am a total junkie. All of my Shemp Howard DVD's and Ted Healy and His Stooges are black market, pirate. I do not see anything wrong with it, when that is the only way you can get what you want at times.

    For the movies I really want to see I just go to the cinema, I usually don't bother buying DVDs
    Music- yeah I youtube convert sometimes, I don't want to spend a pound on a song on itunes and I don't want to buy the whole albulm just for 2/3 songs, I only buy the albulms of the bands I really like

    I don't feel guilty about it at all. I mean theres hundreds of other suckers out their willing to pay. If I was legit all the music on my ipod would probably cost me 500$. Thats shit and for what? To listen to some music I could easily listen to on youtube for free so I don't understand honestly.
