I always see people try and come up with justifications on how it's ok to pirate from AAA game studios, big movie studios etc, but they draw the line at indie devs, mom and pop shops etc. I always viewed piracy as a tech barrier that if you don't know how to overcome you pay your way through.

I don't really resonate with the "if buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing" or "it's ok to pirate content (game/shows/movies) from AAA or big studios". I'm ok with stealing. I'm ok with calling it stealing.. I'm ok with stealing from big and small companies.

I only pay for things I can't pirate/steal. The only real things I "have" to pay for other than the normal stuff like food/rent/utilities is my internet connection and a game subscription to Retail WoW. I pirate PC/Mobile games, software, tv shows, movies, porn, and much more because I can.

In general, if you pirate, what are you lines?
