When it comes down to it I cant see there being too many people here who;ve never commited an act of piracy, even unintentionally buy taking possession of something given to them for free by a friend or obtained unknowningly.
But anyway piracy is a fact of life the only thing you can do is decide how you personally react to it. If your friends created a musical arrangment or an entire CD of original music just to see it being sold but a bootlegger a week later then maybe they;d reconcider their practices but untill something like that happens they'll never see anything wrong with it and no amount of indignation will change it.
People who make the claim that Roms are okay for some random reason they heard once and think they;re abiding by are doing so because they want there to be a legal loophole for something they feel should rightfully be availible to them in some form. You can tell them they;re wrong but they;ll just look for another way to justify it or agree with you half heartedly and make a mental note not to tell you about the next bit of free swag they happen across.
I've said it before, People want the lowest price on things as far as their morals will allow. Some people's just let them go a lot lower than others.
