My legal gaming library is absolutely massive, because I'm able to test games for free first to see if I like it. IMO making people wager $70 that they'll enjoy a game based on doctored trailers shouldn't be legal. Same thing with music. Imagine not being able to listen to an album before buying it.

Same here. There are quite a few games I would have never purchased had I not been able to pirate it first. Piracy acts as a demo of sorts for me. If I actually like the game, I almost always buy it.

Bandcamp is a godsend. You can even listen to entire albums legally before you buy!
