Pirates!

And what?

No but isn't more fair if you can try the full game before purchasing it? I think it is. In some cases you don't need to like RTW because you know what it's like, but for other games it's much harder to tell.

That's the risk you take. There is no absolute right to be able to try before you buy. Some goods have this, but plenty don't. Do you go into a supermarket and demand to eat an apple before you will buy any?

That's a very bad example. You don't need to try fruit before you buy it, lol.

A better one and one that has similar price range, do you walk into a watch store and NOT adk to try wearing the watch to see if it fits and if you like it.

You try it on. For five minutes. That is hardly equivalent to playing through a game for a reasonable amount of time.

But if you want to go for a isoprice example, you don't read a book before buying it.

Lets face it, you and all pirates are trying to justify somethign that in the eyes of society is morally wrong. I'm not going to get sanctimonious about actually pirating (although I am going to sit here with a stick and poke holes in any argument I can), I've done it before (I no longer pirate, everything I have now is legitimate), but never once did I try to come up with pissy justifications for it.

In some countries like Japan it's completely legal dgb.

I'm not a moral person but if it's illigal I won't do it. I don't pirate anymore, I don't like games that much anymore anyhow. When I used to do it it was legal though, or I didn't know it wasn't.

You are not in Japan. In a dialogue between you and I, only the laws and moral standards of two countries matter. Australia, Canada.

I did not know that it was legal to copy/download copyrighted material in Canada, and to be honest I find it quite strange to say the least.

If you are not a moral person, why are you wasting your time trying to come up with morally sound reasons to pirate?
