I actually haven't snuck into an extra movie. But, to be fair, I have downloaded movies and music.

I just grew up and don't find the need to do that anymore. With services like Pandora and Slacker Radio, and a ton of pay per song models, I don't need to steal music anymore.

With Netflix and Redbox, it is worth a few bucks to keep the artists creating so that I can keep enjoying their work.

People who justify piracy either A) Haven't grown up, B) Don't work for a living so they don't understand how important it is to get paid for their work, or C) Are selfish and feel the world owes them something.

Maybe a mixture of the above.
