then you have these douchebags who try and justify it so they can sleep at night. id respect them more if they just said: "look, i only have so much money, but i want microsoft office elite 5012. and its much easier to download it than to pay whats asked by the people who made it. i am stealing it from those who spent many hours creating it"
but nope, its all a conspiracy and the little man is suffering and such.

I agree. If someone just said they wanted something but either didn't want to pay for it couldn't afford to pay for it at least they would be being honest. I love the ones who think they are revolutionaries striking back at the big media companies or those who claim to believe that everything online should be free.
I think my favorite excuse is when someone says, "But I wouldn't have bought it to begin with." Fine. If you would have never bought it that is one thing, the person who created gets nothing from you. But it doesn't change the fact that when you download it you now own it and the person who created it still has nothing from you.
