[Havoc]

I download TV shows because I don't want to wait for them to air/appear on DVD in Europe.

I download movies because I'm only interested in watching the movie, I could care less about the cover or the booklet or the disc. Unless it's some sort of special collectors set or special edition of some kind. And unless the movie extremely worth buying, like I recently bought Shawshank Redemption. Movies on DVD are overly expensive IMO.

I download games because 9/10 games these days aren't worth the 59 euro's (around 70 dollars) they cost around here. EA games are downloaded by default because they ruined several awesome developers and the games they made. They do not deserve to receive any money for the shit games they release. For other games it depends on if I like the download or not and if I want to play the multiplayer. Games I find good enough to buy are things like Half Life, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, stuff like that. They are few and far between, though.

However for just about every kind of download, wether it's a movie, music, game, it comes down to the bullshit system that is digital copyright. Movies and music should get their main revenue from theaters and concerts. Have people pay to have a unique experience instead of having them pay 20 bux for a copy everyone else has.
