    How about you read the warning I gave you for the post, because that is why I removed it.

    I usually decide whether I like music enough to get it by listening to it on Youtube first.

    I don't ever download files. If I like the music I hear on Youtube, I usually end up getting it at some point. If not, I stop listening to it.

    I'd feel weird pirating a game because it's not like you don't usually have plenty of opportunities to see a game before you buy it.

    I guess I'd just never be able to pirate something and keep it. Maybe extremely expensive software I can't afford and would like to mess around with.

    Lots of Minecraft users who have installed mods have pirated WinRAR, which is funny because 7zip exists and is free.

    You get a "40-day trial" and then they ask you to buy it. I don't know if that really counts as piracy but I figure it's probably illegal to keep it at that point. Dunno what shareware really is.
     
  15. What warning... I don't see one.
