I was younger and more egocentric, therefore unaware of the larger impacts of 'E- theft' I guess you could call it.I stopped however in early 2008 after I visited a small time games developer in NZ (which are rare to find I must say) and the lead designer explained just how much they were struggling due to the piracy of their product. He explained how their were more developers once, but many were shut down as the theft of the games was just taking most of the profit they had hoped to receive.Hearing the impacts first hand stopped me from doing it fullstop. I want there to be more small time developers. I don't want them to suffer because people like myself were too cheap to purchase a game which cost like $12 online. So I now have a opinion that opposes file sharing.</blockquote>
