I actually, don't pirate things like I used to. If I buy music, I buy it from Amazon because it's DRM-Free, for this very reason.

 

Speaking of drm... http://www.amazon.com/Spore-Mac/dp/B...773&sr=8-1

lol.. drm is the worst thing to have ever existed.. aside from EULA. I used to pirate a lot.. but now I don't do it much anymore, I think it's mostly cause I've already got all of the music I need since I pirated it years ago Most of the pirating I do nowadays is in the form of cd ripping anyways.

Oh and I forgot to mention that some DRM stuff requires that activation servers be up in order for your stuff to work.. so eventually when the companies die/you lose internet/whatever other reason. Your stuff wont work anymore.. its all bs.. if you pay for it you should deserve the privileges that you get from pirating.. they should really accept the fact that pirating will occur no matter what countermeasures they put in place.. it's just going to ruin it for the people that pay for the product.
