To be honest, I dislike piraters, but not absolutely hate them, I just kind-of look down towards it considering it's what's causing some of these bullstuff laws these days like the Copyright Alert System act and also one of the reasons EA has DRM on the games that they make today, and even then people still pirate EA games to boycott them, but that's just making them put even more DRM onto their games and angering customers, instead of just not buying them which would actually perhaps make an effect on them, they pirate them and as I said, causing them to put more DRM onto their games. But basically, I don't hunt-you-down-and-kill-you hate piracy, but I basically find it disrespectful and, what's the word i'm looking for, I can't remember it, something like shameful, but I don't care about their excuses, which I will now list below.
"Oh, well I just pirate games to try them out THEN buy them." - Okay, so you pirate a game to try it out, then buy it..? Why don't you just watch a Let's Play video of it? "oh well because then it contains spoil-" goddamnit if you don't want spoilers why are you pirating the dang game to play it
"I pirate them to boycott [insert a horrible game company here]" - Look at the above, pirating will just cause them to lock the game up even more with DRM/SecuROM/whatever there is availible to them.
