Out of curiousity (and just curiousity, scout's honor), how old are you?

20, college student, but I live in an apartment over dorm.

In any case, this is probably a topic best saved for another thread or another forum.  MM has made his point- he does not feel that he ought to be obligated to pay for the work that FBBers, their trainers, their sponsors, and their promoters do.  Others have expressed the opinion that piracy harms the industry; there is a staggering amount of research that both supports and refutes that claim (check out some of the claims made by those who supported free music downloads before Napster got overhauled…)

I have to say, MagnusMagneto, in his first post, made it quite clear that he only takes free samples from FBB sites, and doesn't pirate FBB stuff. Only that he does pirate other things, not pay sites. I don't know why people keep thinking he said something else. ???

Funny you struck me as a Black Fury. Or a Black Spiral Dancer.

You know what's weird? Black Spiral Dancers aren't black. They're mottled green.

On a side note, you would not believe the massively negative reaction I got when my avatar for Blood Daughter of Fenris was revealed:

That, sir, is an awesome pic. What the hell did people have to say bad about it.

(checks topic of thread)

Erm… maybe you should PM me.

No more thread derailment. As you were in here. 🙂

I (while not condoning piracy at any level) know that I have been guilty of this in the past as well.  I have found artwork online that belonged to a pay site and taken it for myself.  It was wrong, horrible, and just plain awful, but I have also driven over the speed limit, I have pushed red lights, I stole candy bars as a little kid from the local grocery store, and I use the Lord's name in vain frequently.

My point is that before we crucify Magnus Magneto for doing something that we view as wrong, let's make sure we don't do something ourselves that someone else considers wrong or is just plain against the law — "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" – Jesus Christ

With that said, I am much more likely to sign up for one month and cancel immediately than to get a regular subscription and just keep it.  I have probably spent upwards of $10,000 to feed my obsessions over the years, it just doesn't feel like it at the time when you spend $10 here or $15 there.  I probably have over $2000 wrapped up in 3d Poser and Daz|Studio programs, models, etc.
