One for Illegal Downloaders!

    From another thread, I proposed that Illegal downloading actually earns more in tax for the government in the long run. Seeing as most disposable income seems to be spent of cigarettes and booze in Ireland, now that you don't really buy cd's any more, what do you spend that extra 20 euro on?

    Since you download your albums for free, what do you spend that extra cash on? 47 votes

    I spend all the money I save downloading music on buying CDs

    LOL!

    I wonder how many people will admit to commiting a illegal act in this thread.

    I download my booze and drugs and use the money I save on that to purchase music CDs.

    If I had the money I'd buy what I pirate, I just have no money.

    If I had the money I'd buy myself a pirate, I just have no money.

    That's what I read and thought, "Yeah man, me too!"

    Snap!
    Those choices in the polls aren't great at all...If I was to save any money, it'd be spent on food at college during the week.

    Ah man, now I've got a big idea that's probably illegal!

    I download because I like to 'Try Before I Buy', so I'm not saving any money. If I like it I'll buy it, if not it heads to the bin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I download everything, all the time. In fact, I downloaded this laptop I'm using! I love piracy.

    Whatever music I copy of the net, I send another copy the starving children in Africa.
    Then the net has a copy, I have a copy and the African children has a copy.

    I download my booze through Iridium satellites (like, you know the one that crashed into a russian one) from a civilised country where booze is cheap. not many people know you can get booze via satellite but with the right equipment it can be done. you have to pay the subscription but you can transfer a lot of booze in 1 minute

    booze and clothes, and food the odd time
