Not exactly sure where I fall in the vote. I have little issue with illicit downloads. I do often purchase legitimate copies because I loved the pirated item. I use my illicit copies more as a trial. Granted, with dial up access, I don't end up with massive downloads or anything. But, the advantage is, I can fly under most radars: low bandwidth lines aren't watched as closely.
I would say I've purchased about 80% of what I have downed. The other 20% was deleted because it sucked. Downloads are my library.
