Morality

Clarify, how are you getting "burned" what exactly is the problem if you admit that the product itself is not necessarily the problem. Is it the fact that you don't get to know whether you will like the product before hand? It's entertainment dude. I'm not going to get mad if I pay to enter Laugh Factory and walk out with merely a handful of chuckles.

No, but when I pay for a copy of frankenstien and the last act is replaced by 50 shades of grey I am going to get dissapointed. When I pay to watch star wars and I get some 5 year old's reenactment I get annoyed. When I go to see a play on the intricacies of the elizabethan court and it turns out the message is: the sky is green, I'm goinng to get mad. This is what we get in the gaming industry: unfinished tripe and abrupt changes in quality. Buggy games and crappy stories all due to cut corners, and precisely because it is entertainment I am not allowed to get my money back for false advertising.

I have been burned many times by great series ending on shit, great promise not being delivered and because I couldnt find out without playing or watching to the end I ended up spending money on products I would have otherwise not have touched with a 10 foot pole. So yeah, I have been burned. Piracy lets me test things before putting down money and it gives me the only way of getting a response from a willfully deaf industry.

Civil disobedience is not inherently righteous. Also, there is a clear distinction between private and government policies with the role of civil disobedience.

My apologies, I should have said: petty rebellion.
