@Nathris. It still is theft. You cannot say that it isn't, no matter what definition you use.

You are getting something for free that you should be paying for. Walk into Wal Mart and take a copy of Crysis and walk out of the store. You're just taking a copy of the game, not the source code right?

Or is stealing a digital copy completely different than stealing a physical disc? I think not.

It just goes to show that gaming pirates lie about their reasons for downloading........they always have an excuse. What's the excuse this time?

And $20 is a bit steep, considering Crysis: Warhead is only $30. $10 and it would have been better off, like Audio Surf or Fantastic Contraption (both of which I've bought).
lol, did you pirate the internet from your parents as you think free was too much, and that so many other people get internet for free that you deserve it too? If people cannot afford a 20 dollar game, how the hell do they live in this world?

OH so if you don't have the means to pay for something, you are justified to steal it?


Wonderful logic sir.

im sorry..........but stealing a copy of a game from a shop and downloading it is not the same thing.............


if i go online , in World of warcraft , and steal a $50 "sword"..............and then the owner of the sword had to take me to court...............it would not be considered theft..........dunno what it would be ....but not theft............


and according to the LAW........pirating a movie is against copyright law , but stealing a vitual car , is not grand theft auto
