I don't like downloading for free stuff at all. I consider it a mild form of theft, and if I'm not mistaken, it's even considered as a serious crime in some countries. What do you think of people who download stuff via torrents or Peer-to-peer sharing networks? Do you think they're stealing or is it just alright to do it?
I want to know the general consensus of myLot regarding this "downloading fiasco".

Downloading warez on the net is not illegal only if you get caught.

I feel bad in a way. If i'm just in a country with strict piracy law, i may in jail now for life. I feel bad because the production let's say from movies or music went through heaven and hell to come up with a masterpiece. Now, i don't think i really have a choice. Music Cd can go from 450 to as high as a thousand pesos. Movie theatres sell tickets from 80 up to 300 pesos. Where will i put myself considering i'm just poor but these sharks are still keeping these artists hostage by keeping the price up. That leaves me no choice but to download or my mind will be 5 to 10 years behind.

i have not tried downloading any movies for free . but i don't think i will ever feel bad if in case i do. i have not learned yet how to download that is why i have not done so yet. and i don't have the time to learn how to do that. seems it is not easy to learn to download it. i am not a techie kind of person. and so i stay from this kind of things. i rather ask somebody else to download it for me. specially i don't have much time to do it myself.
