You forgot anime.

I only download anime so I can watch it in high quality, subbed. If there's high-quality streams, then I'll just watch that.

Downloading anime isn't that bad, methinks, as long as you don't use it for your own profit. One, these things don't get released in anywhere that's not Japan properly, and the American dubs is horrible. I hate them. So I go for the original Japanese-dubbed fansubbed ones, which comes out before the American companies even notice them yet.

The other problem is that actual legit episodes are hard to locate: I don't have the anime channels, and they don't air anime that I want to watch. And all their anime are dubbed, which makes me an unhappy fangirl.

Also, there's also the things about "if nobody put that anime on the internet, I would have never gotten obsessed with it and would have never bought their products" that kind of things.

And yes, this is awesome. Read it, everyone!

That's pretty much what I told myself when I downloaded utorrent. I've downloaded a couple of ROMs and a lot of music in my time, but my downloading rate is about to soar through the roof now that I've been given an activation code for a popular members-only torrent site. It's not like I'll get caught though so I don't care.
