Money for Dirt

As seen on Tales of the Rampant Coyote: Videogames Made Me a Criminal!, some trashy newspaper is bribing people to write stories about how video games led them to a life of crime, so that they can write a smear piece about how evil the industry is.

I'd like to see someone turn this on its head while technically answering the request - I'd like to see someone write in about how video games made them turn to a life of PIRACY.

"I wanted things, and didn't want to buy them, so I stole them... and then I stole more and more..."

You can get all the sort of dirt these tabloids want without making up lies about the industry. And while hopefully making piracy look tacky and addictive? :)
