I purchase media often now with the advent of Steam - but people wonder why other people pirate? It's these bullshit lock in mechanisms. Why bother paying when you can just click a button and have it in HD on your hard drive to play whenever and wherever you like?

Note that I don't condone piracy, but I understand where these guys are coming from. I used to pirate when I was 14, but now I just buy things on Steam because it's soooooo much easier to just tap the Buy button and have it just work.
