Addicted to piracy
On average I download around 1TB a month, this is considered light downloading for myself. Mainly music, and the odd TV Shows.
Don't have me wrong, I do pay for content as well. If I cannot find it online, I'll even contact the company who published it. Though sometimes they don't contact you back :(
In any case usually that person in the basement or the one who emerged to have their own lil' shop are more realiable. For certain media you can pay up to a grand for it, most stuff I can't find is 150-400$ on the low end.
And if I buy something, and have something in my library others do not I will share it. Because who wants to pay a grand on a cd. It is why I download most content, unless unavailable in the digital counter part. I'm about data/sample rates/size, the upmost quality. It just seems these days no one cares, as technology cheapens people seem to adjust over but it is not like back in day when it was a big new thing and the best of the best was the in thing. Now everyone takes things forgranted.
