Those who break technological restrictions (DRM) break the law via the DMCA.

Those who download a 'pirated game' do not violate any laws, as far as who has been prosecuted.

Those who UPLOAD a pirated game can be busted for breaking copyright laws, as you made a copy to someone else.

My answer: I do not pay for DRM games. Its illegal for me to 'fix' them, so I pirate. And it saves me money. Start respecting my rights as a user and Ill acknowledge your rights as a creator.




And it saves me money.

You could save just as much money by not playing the game at all.
