It is harmful. It's how I make a living.

As for downloading stuff that isn't for sale any more, that's a grey area. Yeah, it's stealing somebody's intellectual property, but they're probably not currently making any money off of it.

But you said you were downloading a game that just hit the shelves. Unfortunately, that's different.

Make games impossible to copy? Oh, come on. That's simply not possible. There's always a way to pirate it. And the stronger anti-piracy measures publishers use, the less people buy it and the more it gets pirated.

I'm not trying to piss you off, man. And I'm not out to change your mind just for the hell of it. I'm telling you that it's not the harmless thing that you think it is. You're stealing from my friends and you're stealing from me.

It'll always be easy to copy stuff. here's the solution: If you like the game, and find yourself playing it, BUY IT. 40-50 bucks isn't that expensive, unless you don't have a job.

Considering the amount of entertainment you usually get for $50, it's really not an unreasonable price. I don't say that as a developer, I say it as a gamer. I buy a couple games a month and very rarely feel ripped off.
