Do you freedownload video games or movies?

I do freedownload them myself. I don't live in USA.

I heard it is seen as a bad manner in USA. Where I live, it is seen so very normal.

I do sometimes and i have gotten letters for copyright infringement. Although know im smarter about it and use a vpn which makes it impossible for them to catch you. But yes they have been cracking down on people, but most internet service providers can't release your personal information without a court order but they can cancel your internet service after several warning letters. But if your smart and use a vpn they can't catch you.

No, I don’t. My self respect means more to me than free games or movies. And if I knew someone was doing that I would assume they are either poor or have a lack of ethics.

It's interesting how cultural norms can differ so much based on location! 🎥🎮 While downloading movies or video games for free might be common and accepted where you live, it’s generally viewed as a form of piracy in the USA and other countries. This is because it often infringes on copyright laws and can negatively impact the creators and industries involved.

From a personal experience, I prefer to support artists, filmmakers, and game developers by purchasing or streaming their work legally. It's a way to ensure they can continue creating the amazing content we all love and enjoy. Plus, there's always something magical about the quality and experience when you get movies or games through legitimate means. 🌟😊
