          Nah man, although I did buy some of my first CDs that were rips with home printed covers from this girl who was the daughter of my dad’s lawyer friend. Nowadays though I think paying for piracy is for chumps - even if I do admit that people with hacked Firesticks get better access to live sports with their dodgy subscriptions.
