How is it somehow heroic to steal CDs, movies, and computer games?
I find the idea of the "virtue" of stealing games to be the most ridiculous, since the game programmers are... well, hackers trying to make a living at it. There's nothing virtuous about it; it's an evil side to the culture.
Come on, Jon, you can do better than that.
