not really . If i was a non smoker then the shop wouldnt notice anyway . plus the shop doesnt make any money on fags , its all tax . So as they dont notice i smoke because i dont buy fags off them they dont miss my trade .
The tv license people dont even notice i have a telly , bought in dundalk by an aunt , because i dont respond to them and keep my curtains closed . so what they dont know doesnt hurt them or me .
And i wouldnt waste money on dvds and stuff either . So if i watch one online thats already there no big deal . Some jew lawyer probably has his knickers in a twist but so wha . sue me sure . Youll get loads...not

Disaggree,
there are plenty of legitimate ways of getting stuff for free on t'interwebz, take Adobe's software products, they're all free for trial download. Perfectly legit. If you want to extend the license you can either buy it direct from Adobe or you can reset the time on your computer. Is it unethical? You tell me.

Supposing you had no access to interwebz but one of your neighbour's did. Would you piggyback their wifi network?

Don't sneer at seemingly low cost supermarket own brands .... they could be the repackaged version of a more expensive one you regularly get

Two products recently I've tried which look and taste exactly the same as other more expensive products (which shall remain nameless)

1. Dunnes Stores Wheat Biscuits
2. Aldi Snackrite Crisps

Check em for yourself
