Entitled? No. Nobody's entitled to anything in life.. except maybe life itself.


A lot of publishers will replace the media for you, so this is not an excuse.
Not once.. ever have I had a scratched or broken disc replaced. Never. If you try returning a broken disc to a store they will laugh at you if you tell them you bought it in fine condition.. this is just wear and tear from use. You're being a little ridiculous here. When you buy a DVD you aren't buying a life-long commitment from Hollywood to make sure you can always watch that movie.. otherwise Blu-ray would be a free upgrade.


But by taking a copy without paying for it you are saying exactly that! If you can't afford something then either find an alternative or save up for it! Everything in life has a cost associated with it, maybe it is about time you started paying for your costs too. I can't afford some of the items in life that I would like to own too but I dn't just take them and then decide not to pay for them. Just because someone else removed the barrier to obtaining this it made it ok? So if someone looted a store and offered you the items at a knock down price would you think that acceptable too? (I suspect you would).
This difference has been beaten so badly it's not even worth repeating. I personally don't feel I hurt anybody by doing because the original was not removed from anybody. If someone knocks off a jewelry store then store is out the money of that jewelry. If someone went into a jewelry store and cloned all the diamonds and offered me a free one. I could skirt by on that. I wasn't going to be buying the software in either case. I didn't "take" any money from them.

Excellent - at last you aren't ripping anyone off I hope! Shame it isn't becuase you have improved your morals!
Love you too honey... Kisses
