Of the music/movies/software you have, what percentage would you say is purchased instead of downloaded for "educational purposes"? Music: xx%? Movies: xx%? Software: xx%? If you have one, what is your stance on this? |

Music: 95% (basically, if i like it, i'll buy it) movies: 100% (i've never downloaded a movie aside from porn, and those were publicly released) software: 100% (i'll only download demos. that being said, i haven't bought a piece of computer software in many years) |

I have a bunch of cd's, but about 95% of my music is stolen. Most of it I don't listen to, and I buy the artists I like. Pretty much all its done is stop me from paying hard earned money for albums I end up selling at 1/5 of the price I pay for it. I pretty much own most of my music, so about 2% is stolen. I don't like downloading movies. They usually look like shit. Software; about 60% of it is freeware, so I would say 40% is stolen. If I could afford it I would. Thats all the justification I need. (I also suggest software to many people who pay for it, so my advice actually makes the software companies money that they wouldn't have made if I hadn't have stolen it) |

Music 90% purchased, I sometimes try before I buy tho Movies 70% purchased, I download a lot of tv episodes which probably counts. software 60% purchased, I buy the stuff I use the most, I think software is overpriced, but with piracy i suppose it has to be, swings and roundabouts i guess. |

i'd say 100% of all my music/movies/software is purchased instead of downloaded, because i have never downloaded anything, and dont intend to. |

music: 60% maybe... not sure, i could make the precise percentage of this but i don't have enough time to lose with this and i'd probably get it wrong anyway ^^ movies: never downloaded any. (probably one of the reasons why i have such a poor cinematographic culture : P i have the tendency to wait until they air on tv... which can take a lot of time.) software: do video games count? i buy video games (for consoles). but it's been years since i last bought any computer software. |

Music 70% : "I"ll buy it if i like it" Movies 1% : I buy nearly all my movies and sometimes download advance previews Software 100% : dont pay for it, muahahah |

i try to buy cds of the music i like, i don't when the cd is out of print (obviously) or really hard to find, when it's copy-protected (boycott), or when it's overpriced... (or sometimes if i have like four or five albums bought from a same artist/same band, i won't mind downloading one) |

music: 25% movies:80% software:50% estimated percent purchased. my stance? I guess i realize it's wrong. but most of the stuff i steal, i wouldn't have bought anyway. i espcially hate buying cd's because they get damaged so easily. one of the last cd's i bought was Prefuse 73 and the fucking cd was scratched to shit within a week because the package was such a piece of crap. not the new album but the one before. |

acutally, i probably own like 95% of my movies. but that's going to change. i have Netflix and a DVD burner now so i pretty much jack any movie i like. i don't download them though... so i am still kinda paying for them... kinda. |

Music: Probably about 10% of the whole collection, but i've got a lot of music from when i didn't have interneb access. It's more like 50/50 nowadays. Movies: I'm on 56k, nuff said. Software: Apart from a few programs that came bundled with the soundcard, i don't think i've ever bought any software. That said, i do use a lot of shareware/freeware. Fucking no chance i'm paying for windows though. |

95% of the music I listen to is bought, the remaining 5% is either too hard to come by, impossible to get, or just too damned pricey 'cause it has to be imported. 100% of the movies I own are bought, but I have quite a bit of fansubbed animé that hasn't been licensed or is even available here. 50% of the software, but in the case of this type of software, I just play with it. If I ever make money on something I use some of the software for I'll buy the software. |

music: This is a tough one because I do have a lot of downloaded stuff that I only enjoy a few tracks and dont really think getting the album is worth the money. Then theres albums that I buy multiple copies of, like Bola's - FYUTI which i have on CD, Vinyl and Collectors Vinyl. So if I had to take a guess: 50% Movies: Does this include TV show series? If so, then 75%, if not then 50% Software: I use a lot of free stuff. I'd say 75% I actually own. |
