Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?
i'd guess about £20k, predominantly music, from that. i dont know how many hours/minutes of music i have, see, and it would crash winamp to find out.

Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?
£4800

Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?
I feel astonishingly innocent with a measly £300 :|
That does only count what I still have though, if it were to include tv/films I've downloaded in the past, then it would increase massively.
I have a few (6/7) TV series that a friend put on DVD for me, and about 4 albums that are downloaded and haven't subsequently bought (and I wouldn't really miss them if I didn't have them)....I just like shiny discs too much I think, it's probably psychological.

Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?
Well, they probably didn't save you that much, unless you really would have been insane enough to go and spend the 20k if you couldn't have downloaded them.

Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?
I don't know, probably about $20k-$30k or so (one of our servers isn't on and I cba to guess how much music we have), but obviously there's plenty of things which haven't been released on Region 2 DVD anyway, etc..
Also, this neglects to include software, which would distort the figures upward quite a bit.
Oh, and a few of our downloads we would own (or have owned) legal copies at one stage or another.

Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?
$35, only music, which I now have bought/will buy.
I need a new PC with plenty of storage first
Does porn videos count though?

Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?
Movies was just over £1000
The music however could land me a jail sentence (£44,000)

Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?

Though that is a bit misleading as I own quite a lot of the music on my pc and some of the tv series/movies which I bought after downloading.

Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?
Total cost of your illegal hoard: $5179.05
I own a lot of the music in that figure though (Legally), but it would still be higher if software was included. A lot higher.

Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?
8000 pounds.
The games and the music skyrocketed it. Though I think I'd need to add on a bit for software as some of it retails for a lot.

An album costs roughly £10, so thats say 4000 albums. A decently encoded album takes up around 80 megs of space, so thats about 360000 meg = 360 gigabytes.

14 896.58 U.S. dollars = 12 326.5039 Euros
The prices seem to be a bit high though. 19.95$ for a DVD ??? Most of them cost about 10€.

God knows. It'd be a long arduous task to filter out things I had paid for vs things I hadn't, although most of my time is spent with the former group.

Re: How much is your pirated stuff worth?
according to that calculator thingy my music collection is worth a massive 2500 euros. of which 2200 euros is actually part of my cd collection. my downloaded music is worth a massive 10 euros, which means i borrowed 290 euros off of friends of mine
my DVD collection is worth 900 euros, when in fact i bought my entire DVD collection for about 300 euros. I am truly an economical marvel
