Hypocrite.

I have had my experiences with that kind of stuff. Ages ago, I've got an Commodore Amiga and lots of games for it, pirated of course. Everyone did it. Well, after a while the software companies ceased to create new stuff for the Amiga. It did not sell. Everyone had R-Type, but nobody paid for it. 

The thing is simple for me. If I want to use it, I will have to pay for it. This is especially true for the movie industry. Hollywood productions are expensive, really expensive. Many of them don't make enough money to cover the costs. Others cover the costs, but little more. Just a couple of blockbusters have to provide the money to keep everything running. That does not work all the time, just see "United Artists".

It's a simple thing - if you like something, pay for it. We all have bills to pay. This is true for the Hollywood blockbuster and this is true for Wikipedia. If you want to fight the system, fine - but do it by avoiding the stuff you fight against, not by pirating it.

Works for me.
