Do you buy pirated goods, such as CDs and DVDs?

Have you ever bought such products?
I have to be honest, I do. They're really cheap, and most have really good qualities, such as the DVDs.
I know piracy is a crime, and supporting piracy is just the same. I am guilty of it.
But if you compare the prices, original products are 10x more expensive than the pirated ones.=D

No I don't as I consider it to be completely morally wrong.
One of the reasons why the original products cost as much as they do is because the companies who produce them have either had to put a lot of work into them or have paid the original producer a lot of money for the rights to reproduce it.
All that the pirates have to do is have the equipment and pay a few people small amounts of money. This is one of those things that really annoys me. People know it's wrong but they still do it anyway just to save a few dollars.

I never did and I will never do it.
I have to admit that I've download some album on the net, but these are free. I'm not giving money to someone on the back of the artist.
But most of the time I only buy originals.
