Like I said, I have no problem with anyone pirating or downloading a few things, we're human and some things just aren't worth the price, and some things are impossible to find leaving piracy as the only real way to get what you need.
However I have an issue with the ones that do it constantly when they can afford to do things legitimately. I don't have money and yes I did have pirated ps1 and ps2 games which I'm giving to my girlfriend as they can't afford such luxuries in life. I can't afford ps3 games, but I buy 2nd hand to overcome this, even if I had a console which you could pirate, I still wouldn't
