Yep, not only do they never have any intention of paying, the are proud to be pirating, say that any law against pirating will only make them do it more and in many cases they actually see themselves as some kind of revolutionary.
I actually read one comment where a guy said that they should band together and petition state attorney generals to ask for help in stopping the RIAA, MPAA and other media producers for using intimidating and heavy handed scare tactics against them. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Imagine the letter: "Dear State Attorney General. I would like report an abuse. I download movies and music and games and whatever I want for free from various torrent sites. The copyright holders of this material are angry about this because they don't understand how the swarm works and that the VCR is legal. They are trying to scare me by threatening to sue me if I don't stop taking their stuff. Please tell them to stop and to leave me alone to take whatever I want. Thank you. "
