In many cases the quality of a pirated film is of poor quality - it always surprises me how few people care and will happily watch some dodgy copy of the lastest film. For D&D books  and generally written text this is less of a problem. If I want a perfect copy of a film I really like I'll buy the bluray. However, I do make a copy of it to my media PC. This is illegal and therefore I am a pirate I guess[If a D&D book is available to be bought rather than pirated I will generally buy it. However I currently have a rogue copy of the now infamous PHB2 PDF. I pre-ordered my paper copy from amazon two months ago and still waiting. Yes I know I am not entitled to the pdf legally simply because I can't get my real copy yet. That doesn't bother me.  This. I like to pay people for products and services that I want. I happily pay musicians for tracks I could otherwise get for free - particularily those who allow you to choose your own price. I like supporting my hobby too and paying for D&D books. I don't have a problem with those who don't however - and I know quite a fewCertainly not this however. In my experience most people couldn't care less about whether something is or is not illegal. When asked they may say they do but I don't think I know anybody that hasn't or doesn't do at least one of  - drink under age, break the speed limit, take drugs, rip a music CD to mp3, report every penny they earn to the taxman etc. People do things based on their moral grounding far more than worrying about actual laws.My 5 year old daughter came home from school telling me they had watched a film as it was a rainy day but it was really bad quality. One of the other kids had brought it in and the teacher had happily put it on. Watching pirated films seems to be so 'normal' even at that age - well...at that school at leastA lot of my decisions are helped by this though. If I want a film, book or music I'll usually simply buy it. The price is pretty insignificant (however I do enjoy a good deal still). However I'm not convinced that in general having a certain amount of money means people are less willing to pirate</blockquote>
