I think most/all would forgive you since you paid for it. You just did your best to make it run better on your system. To me that is a big difference from pirating the game.

Only if pre-ordered or bought from gog. Retail copies and Steam version had additional DRM until patched and removed.

Concerning Megaupload... Its really beginning to sound like this was a long time coming. If its true (meaning they are guilty), I hope they get the punishment they deserve under the current laws. Then we don't have to worry about SOPA and all that other BS.

Is it considered piracy downloading shows, books and films I don't have available in my country? I downloaded the entire Lost series through Megaupload because I didn't feel like waiting a year to watch it on a local TV station. I downloaded Osvobozhdenie and Brest Fortress because I couldn't find them anywhere in my country, only on foreign websites for a ridiculously high price because of the import taxes and freight (I'm not willing to pay 100 dollars on a single movie and I only rent movies).
Before Steam started to sell non-Valve games, some games were really hard to find on local stores, especially from indie companies (I've never seen RO or RO2 on a store and the few game stores are focused on consoles). Only now in the past 3 or 4 years you can buy all kinds of games in Southern Brazil for a reasonable price because of the many digital stores. We still haven't got any kind of Gamestop store with many different titles, only from the biggest companies, and few games cost less than 50 dollars even years after release for PC (PS3 games usually cost about 130 dollars on launch, so gaming out of Europe and North America is a lot more expensive).
I still do "trial piracy" (like Fed said), sometimes. If the game has no demo available, I download it and play it to see if I like it or not (I don't know of any local or digital store that accepts refunds for disliking the game, it's only for technical issues AFAIK and I simply don't trust reviews). Sometimes I download a pirate copy of a game because I have no money at the moment or some other reason, but I buy it eventually (usually at the end of the month), like I did with many games such as Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2 and Mafia (until I found out about pre-ordering games on Steam). I also don't know of any place I can rent games in my city, only films. In North America and Europe it's easy to see things in black and white regarding piracy, but in the rest of the world is not that simple.

I pirate songs that i like because i like them.
Later on i then buy the album because i finally have the money and i want to support the artist.
However JB-HiFi haven't yet taken my money for certain orders on certain bands.
So i guess my pirated songs will have to do, seeing as i can't buy the actual album.
Isn't it strange when i can pirate songs, but i can't actually buy the album physically like i want?

Lol I wish these companies went to Morocco where I lived for a few years. There was a GIANT (I mean HUGE) open air market for every kind of pirated product you could imagine, fake cell phones, DVDs, music games. It was gigantic. The people pushing this legislation would have a heart attack .

That's why I buy old games from GoG and Steam. As I kid I didn't have access to get the original discs (physical games are not common here), so I buy them today as a retribution, even if I'll never play them again.
