I haven't bought a CD this millenium, but I've probably only pirated about twenty songs in the last three years.
I would say that about 40% of my DVDs were Netflix/Blockbuster/Redbox rentals that I ripped and burned. All of my BDs are legit, and I've never downloaded a BD rip or invested in a BD burner, as I don't find the p quality and sound to be acceptable, and the discs are still overpriced.
All of my video games are legitimate.
I download torrents of television shows on networks I have to catch up if I get into them later (Parks and Rec) and shows on networks I don't have access to (Dexter).
I used to download pro wrestling PPV torrents, but haven't in at least four years.
I pirate the occasional book, but, ironically, often for educational purposes, as I feel that paperback novels are preposterously priced for students and I don't want them to have to get ****ed, and few are savvy enough to use Half.com or used bookstores (which don't really exist anymore).
I also pirate a few porn scenes a month if the previews look titillating. I've never paid for pornographic material (magazines, movies, etc.) in my life.
