You do not understand. Let me clear this up... I have not yet given my reason for "stealing" (a.k.a. downloading via torrents). But I am not going to lie about my reason, and here it is: I do not want to waste money on something I can get for free. I am insulted that you insinuated I am a liar. I am not; I just told you the truth.
But when you quoted me on this:

What if this chess player starts spending such large amounts of money (£30 per FritzTrainer DVD)? Perhaps his obsession with chess study goes too far, and his finances are in trouble? I would feel very sorry for such a person who cannot afford a luxury like this DVD (I believe that all ChessBase DVDs are vastly overpriced).
You thought this was my explanation for stealing. Of course it is not!
This is my explanation for informing people (poorer people) of the ability to download things for free!
I do not want these people to waste money, so I just mention that they can save themselves from poverty by not wasting £30 on a single chess DVD. Instead, I suggest - merely suggest - downloading via torrents. That is all.
