I have no personal qualm in paying $20 for a good book or a video game which I could obtain legally. However, I do have a problem when the same costs in excess of $50 or even $100 as it does here. In such a scenario, I feel no guilt in paying someone $4 dollars to get a pirated copy or not at all for the same thing.

So... when things are more expensive than you want to pay for them, you don't do the honest thing and walk away, you just... steal them?
Yup. You're a pirate, all right. No morality debate there.
