I went to Tesco this week and spent £130 on a load of food, two CDs and a Wii game. Oh, and some cheap clothes as I am on the dole and my redundancy money is running out.

What the **** is he going on about you think? My point is this; I treat my media services and purchase of copyrighted material the same way I treat my food shopping. I wouldn't expect to fill my trolley with £130 worth of stuff but only pay £40 at the checkout. If you want it, you pay for it - full stop. Sorry, arguements about it's ok to download a few MP3s off torrent sites etc or buying pirate DVDs does not wash with me. It's the same as stealing Mach3 blades from Boots and flogging them door to door to fuel your smack habit. Cheating Virgin media of service may not result in child prostitution but a lot of copyright theft supports just this activity. people should examine their consciences a bit more I think. Life may be a bit crap in the UK sometimes but just pay for what you want for Christ's sake and if you can't afford it don't have it. Yes I am a moralistic t**** before someone points that out!
