Do you want cos a pirate is free

Yarr Harr fiddle de dee

I remember when my "friends" forced me into piracy. That was before I came an alcoholic. After that, I just couldn't stop. Even after my friend died of bad rum.
It got worse. Because piracy is a gateway drug, I ended up doing pills. I actually ended up in hospital because of it. But now I can't stop.

Kids, don't pirate.

Haha this article is funny. Sure, thats what teens think (as they click "Download Song" on whatever P2P service they are using).

OK Microsoft, good job at only proving one thing: Teens are great liars.

Who gives a sh*t about the law against piracy anyway?

besides mpaa and all the other greedy bastards..

EDIT: oh and by the way, my xbox contains no less than 60 "backup" games, i only bought the matrix: path of neo and unreal championship 2 because there were no seeders and the games are around 3 GB or something and they were cheap..

so now i have 62 xbox games, not to mention all the emulators and roms
i don't know what to do with the 70 GB i have left of the xbox HDD..

WTF does pirating things have to do with alcohol and drugs?

"Oh Noez!!! I downloaded a Daxter Iso so now I'm going to go smoke pot!!!"

Um...no?

Btw, this is coming from a kid with a modded Xbox, a DS with an R4 and who knows how many 1GB microSD cards and a PSP with an 8GB memory card filled with emulators, roms, and Isos.

Gaming is too expensive...I mean, just buying a console is a lot now-a-days (To Teens and Other People, unless you're a rich person). Who has an extra $60 to shell out per game? I own games that I have boughten too, but only the good games like CoD4 and Halo 3. I find myself likely to use Iso's on my PSP to sample each game to see if it's worth the $40.

360 hacking is actually quite uncommon. because of xbox live with achievements, people want to be competetive and not get banned so they don't download isos. afaik the only way to hack a 360 is to use a modchip and change the dvd drive (am i right?), so it is way to complicated for an average pirate

well you you can use a modchip but most get detected and banned very quickly
so people use the custom dvd firmware

If it so "wrong" to download stuff, then why is so widely available?!. Hmmm?!

And if they want to stop loosing money then they should start making better games. Cause people get older games cause all of the newer ones suck.

Seriously.
