    You have about a 90% chance of downloading something bad. I don’t have a lot of money, but I won’t resort to theft. That’s no excuse.

    I think you shouldn’t do anything illegal, which downloading copyrighted material without paying for, is. It’s considered theft.

    If you can’t afford the game, figure out a way to pay for it through chores, a job, etc.

    Download it from a site that has comments! Like Bit Junky or h33t,ThePirateBay,Read the comments they will tell you if it’s safe and gives tips on how to burn/install them. No comments? Don’t download it!
