I was pointhing out why I understand people who downloads stuff (at least when they are in Finland and countries like this), it is not same as accepting it. Personally I don't download anything but tv-series, and the ones that I like, I'll purchase as dvd's later on.
How does that differ from recording stuff from tv? In no way. Besides, quality of stuff downloaded from torrents is rarely good, so as I already said, if I like serie, I'll purchase it later. In a way torrents works like tv for me, as a demo channel. If I really like something, I'll spend great deal of money on it. If not... well, does it matter if I watch recordings from VHS or avi-files from my computer?
If what is wanted and what is offered does not overlap (this happens in small countries like Finland, Iceland etc. We don't have countless channels), you can hardly blame people.
However, I am against downloading software/games and music too in most cases, in some cases not. Meh, music is just big, grey area for me
NO one is entitled to read/watch stuff, yes, but others have much easier and beter ways to read/watch "this stuff" than others
