Thread: Why do you torrent?

  1. #11
    Because in my 3rd world country prices are, básically, 4 times what they should be. I'm just adding balance to the universe.

    i use it because i could never be able to afford all the pc games i wished to play.
    and then i found out i could find a lot of movies too !
    and even later i realised that my favourite songs could be downloaded too.
    and one day i also saw that i had no need to use linux when i could use latest windows versions, including the expensive Server series.

    and it goes on and on.

    I could right some long fluffy reply about how it is the companies not the artists that make the money and I am fighting media shifting etc, but the truth for me is alot more basic. I live in a small country and quite often the DVDrip will hit a tracker before the movie is released in theaters here and the prices are astronomical. I think of torrenting as my fuck you at the media companies which penalise me heavily for not living in America.

    Free shit. Plus all these cool trackers and the challenge of having good ratio kind of makes it even more interesting.

    I would rather not spend my money on these things. And just like another poster in the topic, too lazy to go and buy things.

    Free movies/TV shows/games. Lack of available material. Hassle of ordering online.

    I download because of the large variety that is offered - whether it be format, quality, or wide selection of things that you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere.

    I also don't see the problem with artists/whatever making less money - they're already richer than need be. I'm not fueling their drug addiction/hookers/golden-plated toilets/pricey champagne/multiple mansions/thousand-dollar haircuts, etc.

    Not having to pay (except in bandwidth/time/seedboxes/whatever), isn't too bad, either

    EDIT: And it's simply easier to download things. There's no hassle, little waiting, and everything is ready to go.
