@MrSnow: Way back in the day I used to use limewire to get a few songs here in and there before having a job.  Now I have heard/seen to many getting  busted for these kind of things.  I know its me being paranoid, but just what I believe.

Yes,  but only because i'm dirt poor. When I get into the big bucks, all that will stop. Also, just movies and SOME games (I buy my games whenever I can, I try to only torrent games I would otherwise not purchase, to try out new genres or if I own the game on another console, etc.).

No.  My time is much more important to me than my money.  If a movie, game, or TV show is worth spending my time with, then it's worth spending money on.

That's pretty much how I feel.

I do use it yes, but mainly for old Roms, and I have only download one movie and one Tv show simply because I downloaded them once off itunes but lost the file and apple expects me to pay again, no way.

I've moved on from torrents to using sites like rapidshare. Back in the day I used torrents religiously (suprnova days), however now i'm at uni and torrents were blocked (now unblocked) I moved on to using rapidshare, however I use torrents for music as I know it's 320/V0. 
 
I still buy some music. I go to gigs whenever I can, same as festivals. 
 
I used to pirate a lot of games aswell but since steam has been around I don't tend to, the games I play, I buy. Don't like pirating them.

I use uTorrent for game patches, modifications, distributed music (OCremix anyone?) etc etc because it keeps down on server usage and often provides better speeds. 
When it comes to piracy i avoid it whenever i can. Like someone above me said, time is worth more then money and your money is always better off in the hands of the games developer.

@MrSnow: If you're going to torrent, don't try and make excuses as to why you do it...

@SpikeSpiegel: 
 
ESPECIALLY when that excuse is that you're "sticking it to the man." Not consuming the content at all is the way to protest something, not stealing it.

I rarely use torrents and when I do it will generally be for me to sample an album to determine whether I think it's worth purchasing.

This is a fair point.
