Most games today have playable demos that let you get a sense for the game to see if you will like it. As an excuse for illegal behavior, this one is just fooling yourself folks. It's OK as long as you don't sell the copies. I love this point of view. C'mon, the size of what you are stealing shouldn't matter.
Games are overpriced and game companies are making too much anyhow.
BMWs are overpriced and they make more money then the entire game industry combined. Not only is this line of reasoning silly, it is also wrong. Most game companies are struggling to make money. These are public companies, all of which were losing cash big time. Sure, a few companies are making good money, but not to the same extent as in many other high tech industries.
