Have you ever paid for warez?

Just curious, have you? And i'm not talking just about paying directly for warez, any form of service you only subscribed to get access to warez will do (usenet, rapidshare, seedboxes, etc)

Personally, i've never paid for warez in any way. The only thing i would pay for is a dedicated server, mainly because i wouldn't use it exclusively for torrenting purposes. In the past i actually thought of paying for warez but then i looked around and realized something:

Filesharing is not just about sharing files anymore. It's slowly turning into a business with all the seedbox resellers, one click hosters and even donations (as you all know many sites actually profit with it). Should we really continue to support all this? I don't think so. Let's support the sites we use instead by sharing what we have or maybe even making a donation from time to time if the site is in need and is not profiting with it.

Let's all remember what filesharing stands for, shall we?

Same here, unless the ISP bills also count. Perhaps the "I'm already downloading to avoid paying for stuff, so why" mentality got stuck on me.

I've paid for seedboxes (stupidity, won't ever do that again) as they are useless.
Also, I've paid for NG premium access, 6€ per month, it's not that it really makes a difference on my wallet. A couple less packs of Marlboro per month.

After my ISP stopped free newsgroup access (2 Gig / month) I signed up for newsgroups for a few months. Other then that, just my ISP bill. Happily torrenting for free since I stopped the newsgroup subscription. Although it was cheap, and everything hosted came in at full speeds including old stuff, which was nice. Now I just wait a lil longer sometimes.
