So far in your life, have you ever broken the law? You can answer with a simple yes or no, or go into more detail.
I'm thinking a high percentage of people have done something illegal. I'm not talking about murder or rape (though I wouldnt be suprised if some of you have committed arson) but small, petty crimes.
Perhaps you werent even aware you were committing a crime or you feel what you've done shouldnt be illegal in the first place.
Lets have a quick run down to confirm whether some things you might have done, are actually illegal or not. And no this is not a list of things I've done. (well not all of them)
Is it illegal to download copyrighted songs, movies and TV shows?
Is it illegal to park in a disabled space?
Is it illegal to steal traffic cones and wear them as a hat?
Is it illegal to prank call the emergency numbers?
Is it illegal to have sexual intercourse with livestock?
Is it illegal to park infront of somebodys driveway?
Is it illegal to film your sister in the shower?
Is it considered rape if you have sex with a drunk woman?
Is it illegal to pay someone 'cash in hand' to avoid taxes?
Is it illegal to litter?
Is it illegal for women to walk around topless in town?
Is it illegal to use someone elses WIFI connection?
Is it illegal to burn flags?
I think that'll do for now =/

Okay how about this.
Is watching TV shows/movies on video sites (like YouTube) etc just as bad as downloading them?

I love how you use wanting to spend your money on something else as a defence to theft. Possible a widely held theory looking at the chav armies. I would rather spend my money on fun things rather than car insurance road tax and my mortgage but you dont see me squatting in a flat with my uninsured car out side. Just show a bit of controle. If you cant afford it dont have it.
How about if you went to work but they only paid you for 50% of your hours.... its the same thing.

That's something else I've been wonder. Is it illegal to drink/smoke under the age limit. Or is it like with the BBFC, just illegal to sell to someone under that age?

Watching copy writed stuff on you tube is illegal and why they tend to split it out into various files. Stops the film companies getting p****d etc. TV shows are different as producers are paid by series and not by ratings. Anything where the artist has a share of the sales is stealing from his / her pocket in my eyes

I'm not using it as an defence, i'm just telling you why I do it. It's quicker, easier, cheaper and there's more of a selection of music, the same applies for pirate DVD's, and they're obviously released a lot earlier than the acutal DVD. In most cases, it's cheaper for me to buy a pirate DVD than to go to a cinema and watch a film. Why would I not have it if I can't afford it? You can call me morally corrupt etc... but in really doesn't bother me, and i'm sure the same applies to the millions of other people that download music.

You can drink in private from the age of five years old.
No idea on smoking, though.
