I've pirated games before. Again, usually from rubbish companies or ones I wanted to try out. If I like the game a lot, enough to play it through more than once, it's warranted a buy. Otherwise, games just don't last long enough to justify blowing 40 bucks into 'em for the most part. I save that money for DVD boxsets.

Really, the only ROMs I'll get are SNES or NES ones. The rest I'd rather just buy.

I buy games if I can find them, download them if I can't. If I
can't., I'm not costing anybody anything - and yes I do like Underdogs for that reason. I certainly don't want to undercut the industry.

I'm more into the idea of somewhat short copyrights (at least compared to current law), and some substantial variation depending on what is copyrighted.
Personally, I think copyright needs a "use it or lose it" provision; I'm tired of companies sitting on a game ( or technology ) and refusing to let
anybody have access. It goes against one of the purposes of copyright, the promotion of innovative products.[/i]
