content: I can state with absolute certainty that I would never have bought any of the things I downloaded   Exactly. Even if someone were to take down all those pirate websites I would definitely not be heading to the online stores or brick and mortar stores to buy a damn thing. I'd find free ways to entertain myself. Hell, I have over 1000 movies and I haven't watched more than 1 movie a week in like 11 years. Jeez, idk maybe i've watched 2 in a week, but it's pretty rare and I don't even recall if that's happened.
