I have downloaded three pirated pieces of media ever.
All were unavailable for purchase and I would have paid for access to them, if it were possible to do so.
One was a special episode of West Wing. It aired at a different time from usual and it was not going to air again and I didn't want to miss an episode in the sequence or have to stop watching the show on broadcast until it hit Netflix.
One was the unreleased Guns n' Roses album. It gave me a virus and, even though I did some press on it and most likely could have gotten a comp when it was released or close to actual release, I felt like I deserved that virus.
The last was the second season of Downton Abbey, when it was available for free on British sites which blocked USA IPs. Whether using a proxy or download, the principal is kinda the same there.
