I got a better question, why is my nickname fknpoewnd ?
self-improvement (if P2P does not exist i wouldn't access so many things since im not rich. Yes Movies/Music/Software/games/ebooks etc etc are expensive) and its always more interesting share knowledge with other people.
I picked "other". I dl movies, appz & music mainly because the prices are MUCH more than they should be (at least in the US) & there's a much larger selection to choose from. And, I'm lazy & this way I don't have to leave the house :whistling
because im too lzy and too poor to bye movies and CDs
partly because its so fast and convenient. You can get music/games/movies before they even hit stores!
Another reason is that I'd rather spend my money on other things. :/
illegal or unethical? :blink:
howdy squirr3l, I don't think he was insinuating that the two are necessarily related in any way, but I could be wrong.... :huh:Quote:

That's how it is viewed by the outside world. Try having a discussion about file-sharing with somebody, you'll find that it is very hard to justify your position when the person thinks you are stealing money from companies or artists that deserve it.Quote:
