    Crikey there is alot of gear there! Personally i don't mind the copying of games etc. For people with low income downloading games and buying copies is a great alternative to spending £40 on a game. However, i do realise that this does effect the gaming industry and for that matter its bad as this could result in them getting less cash to develop big games.
