I used to, but I haven't bothered in a long time.

Back in the 80s I was a massive C64 game pirate. But since then I've only pirated, like, three games specifically because I was unwilling to install Origin.

Oh, I forgot I did install MAME awhile back which involves thousands of pirated ROMs, so nevermind. I'm still a massive pirate. And so is Catt and Leisher, I believe. :)

Yes it does. Unless you ripped the ROMs yourself from your own personal legitimate versions of the originals (EDIT: or purchased them from a liscensed source) it counts. You filthy pirate. :P

Well, the study was self-reported, so I am the one who gets to say if it counts, and it doesn't.

I can see your lips moving, but all I can hear is "Yarr! Behold me ill-gotten bounty 'o MAME ROMs."
