I buy all my games and music as well. I agree with Grieve in the sense that now that I have a career making good money, I can't really justify cheaping out on on a few dollars here and there.
What I do not pay for though, is software that they try and charge upwards of $200-$300+ for. Things that come to mind are any of the Adobe products, office products, etc. I personally do not believe that a piece of software should cost more than my processor. Also, the fact that any web/graphic design I do is for personal hobbies and interests of mine, not for work or monetary gain, along with the fact that they don't offer me a "reasonably" priced substitute of their product for 'personal use', allows me to justify not paying for their overpriced product.
