Well, while I am by no means a saint, I do actually buy all my songs (CD or through iTunes) as well as DVDs/Blu Ray/Computer Programs.
Call me crazy in this modern world where people (including, in certain areas, me) say it is ok to do something just because so many people do. Just because some people do something that is unethical or illegal doesn't make it right, nor does that make it ok for someone else to the same, does it?
Having said this, we are humans not angels and we all do something. Which is why I made the point that this discussion will never be resolved. It is not about whether it is legal or not, it is about what is/or should be the "norm". For me these kinds of copies should not be considered "normal" nor should buying them be considered normal. Having said that, clearly there are many people that have a different opinion and like chrisk indicated, there is no stopping the global changes that internet has sparked.
