Just so you feel better about your selves, you say "I'm only DLing to see if i like it"...that is just amazing!

Whether or not you keep it or like it, the action was taken.. you DL'ed it.. which the company consider's wrong! So what if you get caught while you are "testing to see if you like it". What is your response then?

You can get busted for having a DL'd copy of movie/game you already own. This topic will never go away.

If I DL a game, and I like it, I'm keeping it.

But, that's if I DL a game.

I don't see the problem here. If you don't like the topic at hand, don't reply or post in the thread.

Walmart seems to have most every game i play and most of the time just as cheap as online stores because of the shipping. EB games is going more to console games, at least the stores where i live.

That's in a perfect world. But in a perfect world companies dont put out crappy games to steal peoples money. If I want to buy a car I can test drive it. I demand the same right for a pc game.

not that ive done it, but im pretty sure if u d'load a game off the net, then end up liking the multiplayer, u can purchase the cd key off the original game publisher, like EA games. getting it off ebay could be a scam.

Yup. I like to know how well a game is gonna run on my computer. I got the latest Hitman off of Mininova, didn't like the performance on my 9100, and decided to wait until I get the E1705 before buying the game. Same with the latest Ghost Recon. If you're not sure how a game is going to run and there's no demo, you should have every right to test it before spending anywhere between $40-60.

Duckhunter brings up a serious point though. When I first bought FarCry for 50 dollars, it didn't work on my computer at all, even though my specs exceded the minimum reqs. Plain and simple, some games just wont work on certain computers.

Well, the company can consider it as whatever they like. It's up to parliament on and courts to decide true legality. For now, in Canada, downloading is legal. For how long, no one can say. With a minority government, it is unlikely that anything like the American DMCA will come to pass, but it's only a matter of time before the library loophole is closed.

For those who are unaware of this loophole. The supreme court of Canada ruled that online file sharing is no different from a public library. People can borrow books, movies and CD's from most public libraries for no direct cost. Individuals may also make copies of copy writed works for personal use, with no exceptions. There is no provision under Canadian copy write law for copy protection, so you can decrypt, burn..whatever. When you upload, this could cause a problem, but downloading is legal.

Let me get this straight; people are admitting in public that they pirate software. Am I missing something?
