How old are you and why do you illegaly download?

My research paper for a class I'm taking is about illegal file sharing. So where else better to go for information than filesharingtalk.com. If you could help me, please answer this simple questions and feel free to add anymore about file sharing.

How old are you and why do you illegally download?
And why did you start file sharing.

Did you start because of high cost of albums?
More convenient to be able to sit at home and download?

Edit:

Another question I have to answer is..for the people who file share illegally is it any why isn't it any different than stealing from store? Is there any different from going to Target and stealing the album or staying at home and downloading it off a tracker? Is one of the reasons that you "steal" because it is easy to get away with?

As far as the argument that it is simply too expensive so are high end computers and my devices that you are being ridiculously over charged. I'm sure all of us here can agree alienware computers are way over priced and only milking the consumer. But yet we don't steal other items we either don't buy them or just pay the price. Why is music/movies/games/etc. any different. Think about that.

Again let me just state that I download not here to bust your balls for downloading just doing it for the paper.

my age is in my info...i started downloading because i dont like the concept of being charged 5 dollars for a soda at a movie theater. im not some cow that they can steer into the theater and milk the shit out of me...that means that they have absolutely no respect for the customer.

i also dont like limits on how many times i can copy music or rootkits being placed on my operating system or my car/home stereo eventually breaking down because of bad cd's that the record companies put out

i'm 20 right now and who ever said anything about me downloading anything illegal?

i pay for cable tv. is it a crime to download tv shows you pay for? i think not!

edit: i download tv shows because i don't like the ads (especially the ones on the bottom while the show is playing) and I like more of the video on demand style where i can watch what i want when i want. for a while i capped. there is even a plugin that will auto remove commercials for you after recording from your own cable tv stream, but at the same time it turned into a lot of work. i became lazy and realized it was easier to download the same material that i was making at home.
