Yoghurt Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I used to, but over the past 3 years I've plateaued as to what I want content and media wise, and I own basically everything I would feasibly download, and since decent content is something that rarely comes along, I can afford everything I want with considerable comfort. Still have my encrypted Usenet connection though, not giving that up for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlingmad Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I used to download everything however I tend to buy my music through iTunes these days. It's so quick to download a high-quality track (album) for a small price. Â Movies I buy on blu-ray because I enjoy having the physical product plus the quality. Unless of course cash is tight and then I'll download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 I download most things first and buy what i enjoy after, also alot of the music/games i download is OOP which doesn't make it exactly legal but sometimes i can't justify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ReturnOfTheMack Posted April 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 I download the odd song, but thats rare. Otherwise I stream a few TV shows at US pace, though I also watch them on TV when they come out over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoote Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Used to download all my music, then Spotify came along. Now use Spotify (Premium + Mobile), and tend to buy one-offs, rarities etc. Movies, I download the occasional one, normally following convos with friends about old films (Porkys, FMJ). Have a reasonable DVD collection, but more than happy with my current torrent usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members WWFChilli Posted April 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 A fair few criminals on this forum by the looks of it. Â I'd rather be a downloader than a rapist or a con man, and we've got them on the forum too. What's your point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Pitcos Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 A fair few criminals on this forum by the looks of it. Â I'd rather be a downloader than a rapist or a con man, and we've got them on the forum too. What's your point? Now that's unfair. The proper confessed rapist has gone. We've got a convicted sex offender, yes, but "rapist" is inaccurate. Unless you're including statutory, which doesn't really count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members CleetusVanDamme Posted April 24, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yes to both, all the time, but I delete them from my hard-drive eventually so morally I feel fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Pitcos Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Yes to both, all the time, but I delete them from my hard-drive eventually so morally I feel fine. Who was it who actually said that on here the other week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather be a downloader than a rapist or a con man, and we've got them on the forum too. What's your point? I'd rather be a bank robber than a rapist or con man, but it doesn't mean that I should get a free pass for being such, does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgmilne Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Technically, recording stuff off the TV onto a video was illegal back in the day I believe. Â I download TV shows and the occasional film. Everything I download has been or will be shown on the television package that I already pay for. I see no problem in it whatsoever. Â It's essentially a more convenient way of 'recording' them.

Hyperion Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I buy DVD's because I couldn't be bothered to download a full series of something, and I like to watch it in great quality on a TV. One day people are going to learn how to rip TV shows at DVD (or even HD) quality and figure out how we can play the files on a TV. That's probably hundreds of years in the future, but it'll be nice. Now that's just crazy talk, things like that will just never be possible, I guess if Aliens came to earth and helped speed up our technological advancement, then maybe just maybe, RIP Diva Sunny's great (x47) grandkids maybe able to live out such a fantasy as that.

WU LYF 4 LYF Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Well, whatever, I like to have the packaging and what have you. Might just be my obsessive compulsive nature, but watching a TV series off a blank disc isn't nearly as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
