I always like to start the topic then let other people post their opinions before I post mine. |

One isnt "stealing" anything. You will not get in trouble for theft.
You are only violating copyright law. |

But doesn't that mean it is still illegal? |

Yes, in countries that recognize the copyright.

Well, I do NOT support getting games through limewire or using roms of recent games. It takes alot of work, time, and money to make a game, and for thousands of people to just TAKE it, without paying a single penny, it's just so wrong.
Developers don't steal from you, why steal from them?
(p.s. it's okay to steal from sony) |

it was a joke, because everyone hates Sony, except for a few mindless zombies, or just idiots who think that Sony actually is GOOD. |

How are they good? They are unoriginal, and inferior to Microsoft and Nintendo in almost EVERY way.
The only reason they WOULD be good, was because they got sales early on in their career, and tons of developers saw these sales, and thought "Let's side with them!!! PERMANENTLY!" |

M'aiq agrees mainly with the bolded part. Most of those supporters are focusing more on the 360 and Wii now.
M'aiq recently discovered a demo for a game called 'Project Sylpheed' or something on the Xbox Live Marketplace a while ago, a game by Square-Enix. Not sure if it's a PS3 game as well or not, but we shall see. |

As I said, I'm okay with it as long as you're not hurting any little people.
Like small-time developers/musicians.
OR if what you're pirating is easily available for you to purchase.
If it's unobtainable, then I'm okay. But pirating games for any console after SNES or any computer game made after 2000, I'm not for. |

I only pirate games for old systems (and by "old" I mean GBA/N64 and anything earlier) seeing as the only way of getting them is through eBay, and since that doesn't profit the game companies, I'm doing no damage whatsoever. |

ehm... Virtual Console... GameTap... Sonic-Collections... MegaMan Collections... MetalSlug Anthology... XBox Arcade... i could go on
Unless it is a game that is really been forgotten, your argument doesn't really hold water |
