i have like 10k mp3's...
i have like 150Gb movies...
i have like 50 games...
i have like 15 appz
all downloaded from the net...

i am addicted to downloading, when i go to work, or go out or somthin,
i start downloading what pops up in my head, and go away,
when i come home, im like : "yeaaah, all finished!!! now lets have some fuuuuuun"
listen to illegaly downloaded music, play illegaly downloaded games, watch illegaly downloaded movies, mess around with illegaly downloaded applications/programs
its aaaight...
its fun...

BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

when im impressed with a album, or a game, or a movie or a program
i RUN to the store, and buy it...

this addiction started like 5 years ago...
i download... if i like it, i say : "goddamn, this is albums is great" or "shiiit, this game will bring me HOURS of pleasure!!" or "i can watch this movie over and over and over..."
so i RUN, and buy it, and afterwards i say "well, they earned every cent of it..."

because of this,
my collection of "ORIGINAL" games, albums, programs and movies grew so big...
i had to dedicate on of my rooms to this, PACKED with "bought original" stuf...

anyone acts like this to?
first download it, and if u like it, go buy it?

pz

PS: it all started when i downloaded Diablo 2 with a ftp-application.
i was so impressed by the game, i went to the store and bought it.
since then, i do this every time...

we consider this as "normal"

in fact, almost every1 around here d/l only. Me 4 example will never pay $$ 4 stuff i can get online

Sure its illegal, but 2 be honest; the person who gets in trouble would be the 1 who puts the stuff up there not the downloaders

so be carefree as long as u dont d/l virus crap

in most cases i do but very few things i like enough to buy the original.

Disturbed Albums is bout the only things i bought Legitly. and photoshop cs 2 i bought with a student discount cause i study it:)

Yeah, when I can get something free, screw paying lol

i no this is not related but i was just wondering.....how much loli stuff (like porn) do u got on ur hardrive?

just curious

i bought like 85% of what i downloaded.
usually, the things i download are things i already heard of, and supposed to be GODLY.
Like for example as earlier mentioned, Diablo 2...
omfg... after three days playing, i went out and bought it.
and had SOOO much more fun playing it online.
another example is Forrest Gump.
I missed it when it was in the cinema,
but i heard it was good,
so i downloaded it... i was like "this movie is to good, i can watch it over and over and over, and watch it with friends and stuff"
so i bought it.
I downloaded "2Pac -All Eyes on Me" album,
was so impressed (i still think its Pac's best album ever),
i went out and bought it.

the things that i didnt bought are like 1 or 2 songs from a WHOLE album,
that my little neice or nephew liked.
like a Britney Spears song or whatever, that my little nephew liked,
wich reminds me of me deleting the song from my hdd and erasing all the evidence i downloaded it (my friends or my gf would sack me, if they would get suspicious and think that i listen to Britney),
and teaching my nephew what "real" music is

hmm, a good example:
in a topic, like a couple hours ago, in the movies, movies movies section
someone recommended a drug/crime/drama movie to see.
"Spun", supposed to be one fucked up drug/crime movie.
the download is already in progress
if im impressed,
i probably buy it tomorrow from MediaMarket,
on my way home from work

If it's available here, and it's not disgustingly overpriced / dubbed, I'll prolly buy it if i like it. But even with hmv + chapters + local stores importing more anime/manga, it's still kind've limited in what's available.

Actually, no. Its basically the same with hackers who create viruses and leave them in the open. They don't use them, they also say, "please dont use these", but in the end, its the same as leaving a loaded gun on the table.

Anyways, back on topic, i usually download whatever i want, but i never leave my computer online overnight. However i do like owning the legitament copy, so i'm slowly replacing my burned stuff with legits.

I dont download much anymore unless its either bleach or a new anime series I will be watching =\
