Re: Discussions about piracy I agree. iTunes is stupid. Anyway, check this out: http://7digital.com. It's my favorite music store.
Re: Discussions about piracy I have to admit I do consider downloading as quality control. I will buy a game if i like it but games like Bioshock and COD:world at war which where weak games I'd of been fuming if I'd of spent my money on them. but on the flip side I did go out and buy COD4 MW on impulse and wasn't disappointed, well i was with multi player but single player was well worth the money. but I generally buy the games I will actually play Half-life, sins of a solar empire and l4d tf2 etc I mainly use downloading for movies and music example the new Muse album I found massively disappointing, but I downloaded the new prodigy album, well latest and I loved it so much I got in and got tickets for wembley before they sold out
Re: Discussions about piracy Haha, I got into The Prodigy like 6 months before there new album (well actually, I used to love there song Out Of Space when I was like 5, it was my fav song ) I didn't buy the album, but about 3 months later I saw them live @ The Marquee.
Re: Discussions about piracy Well I did contact the store, but the other copy they had, had the same problem. They are going to check it out in the meanwhile. Its a budget version, but kinda stupid as well. Normally they put a sticker on the inside of the box, but that was even removed, due to budget I guess. My GF is playing the game now, with an illegal obtained key, but a legal CD. Weird eh. (Shop cleric also found that "funny". (I was raging a bit yesterday, yes) Good prices Too bad, they dont have much choice for dance music I like. In NL we have dance-tunes.com, but kinda expensive and they focus on mostly on the popular dance. Oh well, I keep listening to internet radio instead
Re: Discussions about piracy Well as a last resort you can always contact the publisher and they'll certainly help you, I'm sure your CD is marked with a number of some kind so they can sort it, but when it happens I would never question you downloading a key for time beeing since you actually bought it. The only problem I see when people use a keygen to get a key is that someone else might not get their key working. Erik
