    No. I also go to church everyday and pray for everyone's sins because you are all too lazy to pray for yourselves

    Yes, I downloaded some crack cocaine and gave it away free sold outside the local primary school.

    The School, The parents and the Gardai are very very angry with me, but at least Lars Ulrich and the head of Sony MGM are not upset.

    Yes and no. Could buy a record when the track isn't released digitally. Some labels release music vinyl only... which is a treat sometimes as the quality is always there and theres a bit sparkle to it if its a limited release

    Yes. All the time. I have around 3000 songs on my IPod. Not one of them did I pay for. If I hadn't found a way to get their music for free I wouldn't have had the chance become a fan of their music and subsequently wouldn't have went to their gigs and bought their merch at said gig...etc.

    If something is released in the States that I want to watch but isn't likely to be available here for a considerable time then yes I would download it

    Once went to the cinema to see a film (think it was the hangover 2) bloody thing was booked out and couldn't get a ticket.
    so I went home and downloaded the thing anyway, I tried to do things the right way and couldn't. Cheaper sweets and drinks at home too, and comfier!

    And i bet you didnt have to listen to a group of teenagers laughing and screaming threw out the film ?

    All messing aside i go to a lot of films in the cinema sometimes its worth it for certain films others may as well watch them in comfort me own front room.
