I played nothing but PC Gamer demo discs when I had no internet for a month. That was an interesting time.

Oh, and if someone makes that stupid "piracy isn't stealing because it's digital" argument, I will do horrible, horrible things to the corpses of their family. You're recieving goods without paying your fee. You're stealing. It's not unforgivable, but it is a crime. Fucking deal with it.

Except you're not stealing.

lol
I think a lot of the mud in the water surrounding piracy is the distinction between "justified" and "excusable". If you bought, played and subsequently lost a game, and now decide you want to play it again without paying, it's still pretty scummy, it's just a marginally less scummy than someone who never paid at all.
It just happens to be a margin people are very defensive of, as mysteriously seems to be the case with any ethical standpoint that could save them money.
