for me, it's totally ok to pirate them. y?? well, some may say it's stealing, but look at it like the story of Robin Hood. american / foreign artists and movies that reach here means they're already really big.. i don't think they'll need the money. So, when you think about it, it's quite simple. An original imported CD worth 450php where the artists don't need the money? Or, the cheaper (less than a hundred pesos), definitely more affordable, exactly same songs (and, ok, maybe less quality - but that doesn't matter 'cause you'll be tired of their music after awhile anyway..) pirated one? No contest! Para sa akin, it's kind of pag-unlad pa ng technology ng Pinoy! (Think about it, we can actually WATCH movies that aren't in the theaters yet. i don't think americans have the same privilege. ;>)

So, i say: Screw originality. Mabuhay ang piracy!!!** Wahahaha!!! >:)
