First of all, understand piracy is not stealing. And second, get off of your moral ground and watch it from Indian POV. You are not in US, you are here, deal with it. I understand you recently started buying original games/softwares from your dad's pocket and feeling guilty of all those years of stealing. But not everyone is rich like you. And i want to play that damn game and i cannot afford, But still there is a way to play it by d/l it from TPB. So i am doing this.

That's not an excuse. If you're poor then sorry ,that software isn't made for you. Earn & get a living, then may be you might have enough money in your pockets to go and purchase whatever you like or wait for the government to subsidize it :-D.

Does it hurt developers? No. Why? Even if the game is selling for 2k here i am not going to buy, so i am not literally taking their sales numbers. Does it benefit developers? Yes. Still remember after playingGTA:SA, i feel like i need to own the game and after came to know price is just 499 INR, i bought that game.

So piracy never kills developers/studio. They kill themself by over-pricing it.

If your days and nights of work that you put in is available for free at someplace, will that hurt you? I guess YES. Developers have their own option whether to become freelance or work for proprietary software. If GTA IV is available for Rs. 375 then I would definitely go for that "SINCE I CAN AFFORD IT". Otherwise, I will have to control my desires & not go for something illegal.

Yes. Our first always comes with Pirated Windows, if not, at least some pirated games/softwares which these H/W walas used to install as gift. :D

You cannot deny that. Take your first PC purchase and comment on that please.

My first PC had pirated Win XP on it(i was 10 yrs that time)
My first laptop had windows 7 pre-installed
Moral of the story : Never buy PC's from HW walas

I insisted my computer-assembler to only install Geniune Windows on the PC. He did that. But added all pirated crap(Office, PS, softwares no one ever uses like ringtonemaker(dafaq?)). Why I asked him to assemble and install windows is a different story though.

What do you say about movies and TV shows?

1. Person of Interest : Aired only season 1 on TV. And only 12 episodes out of 23. No sign of second season in India
2. The Big Bang Theory : We only get censored version which is again at least year old.
3. Django Unchained : Released in US on 25 Dec 2012. In India it was released on 22 March 2013. That version is also edited. And DVDrip was available on torrents since January.

I can go on and on about Spartacus, GoT and others movies and TV shows, but i think I've made my point clear.

i do see some trolls existing in this thread.. :p
btw, on-topic of Killing Piracy, i'd say you can't completely kill piracy, especially from india, where not only school, college students are proud pirates, but even big institutions, companies (many) do pirate some way or the other..
The porn clips example given in this thread is a great example to show that we all pirate some way or the other, nobody's all clear here, and don't say that it's not piracy, it definitely is, and as they say in hindi: "Chori to Chori hi hoti hai, fir chahe ek baar hi ki jaaye, chhoti ho ya badi"...
And Photoshop CS6??? pfft, that's just an excuse for us, i do agree that amateur wannabe photographers do need it, and can't afford it, but we home users can use GIMP, and it'll fulfill our needs.. (coz i bet none of us home users don't use even 5% of PS abilities, what all we do is available in GIMP)..
And on professional level, some of my Mechanical Engineer buddies joined a big institute to learn AutoCAD, and guess what, they too had the pirated copies there, why?? just see the price of AutoCAD: Amazon.com: AutoCAD 2013 for PC -- Includes a 1 year Autodesk Subscription: Software
it's ~$4k, i.e., ~2lac rupees, guess even most of the professionals can't afford it, forget my college buddies, who need to use that software after the classes were over to practice their skills, and ended up pirating it, and i support that given it's ridiculous high price.. (though i know it's intended for company use, but see the situation here, you need to practice too as a college student.. :p).

I know all that. Shows aren't projected LIVE here. WWE is a prime example.
