I agree, because i have also pirated software, music, and movies up until
recently when i recieved a warning from my isp because an agency reported
me.The price is the main factor that gets me. As with music i think the
artists need to start getting more of the profit instead of the record
companies. It would be nice if there was a way to cut out the middle man and
give the artists all they deserve.
