Good video!! I personally don't pirate stuff but I do agree that some pieces of software are totally overpriced. I will probably make a video response soon.

[AdmanTemp]

Ah, that's cool.

Again, it is balance. Something like Snow Leopard or ScreenFlow, something reasonable, I would purchase.

But I just don't have the money for PS and FCP. Heh, maybe that means I shouldn't use it, but I am too dedicated to film-making etc not to.

Thanks for the comment.

I had the school disscount version of PS on a external so I half-piad and half pirated. If I wasnted now though I would have to hush hush it.

The only other thing I would say is pirated but not really is I watch shows from japan(asia/korea) and people yell piracy on that...

So i guess I pirate TV shows with that mentality.

[AdmanTemp]

ha! The biggest thing I download is shows from the USA, as some shows don't make it/take for ever to come over this side of the pond.

[suicidekyd]

Really? I do not see how it could take so long we speak the same tounge. The whole Japan to other places I cant see why it takes years.

Yes it needs translated and re-voiced but couldnt they just put the subs on the TV also and just get it out there for the other people?

[AdmanTemp]

It's always been the way. Films, for example, nearly always come out a month or two earlier in the states.

As for TV shows, one of the longest waits I have experienced for the arrival on British TV was on a show called True Blood; as season two was starting in the US, season one just started here. Over a year! Ridiculous.

Other shows aren't quite as bad, I am just impatient ;).

I never understand the wait from country to country.

Pirating videos and television: Cool with me!

Pirating current generation videos games: Pathetic, inept little nerd, get a job!

As for pictures, music etc. I think everyone understands and accepts that piracy is the norm; therefore no one pays much attention to it anymore.

i think youtube should ban fat guys video or in other terms videos that contain extra fat and obesity just luke nudity or pornography

Finally, a cool kid..

I don't know how many times I got pissed because I bought an album and only liked the songs they played on the radio or bought a 60$ video game just to find out the game sucked and collected dust after purchasing. And even more frustrating when I pay to go to the cinema, just to sit in utter disappointment for 2 hours. Videogames and Movies are the only things out there that can get away with putting out CRAP without any repercussions. Its not like you can send them back to be repaired.

[silkyskeeter]

LoL this needs more views, he is talking "Real talk". I'm a pirate and proud of it. But, just like he said in this video, I also support the companies as well. Well at least the ones I feel deserve my money. I love being able to test movies/video games before I go see them in the theater. If I like the movie I go watch it at the cinema. If I don't, I don't waste my money. Same goes for video games and programs. If anything, it forces them to make their stuff better.

just get a hair cut!

[metalisbetter1o00]

I was at an Exodus concert a few months ago and their front man, Rob, said "Our new albums coming out next month, how many of you fuckers are going to go buy it?" *raaaah* "How many of you are going to download that shit for free?" *guy raises hand* "See that guy? Someone beat the fuck out of that guy. By our shit, so we can keep making music for you guys". Godd times
