You know, I don't mean to be miserable about it, but "poor student" has become the sob story of the internet.

"I need to crack the full commercial version of Maya because I'm a starving student"

"I need to download 200GB of music because I'm a starving student"

Etc. etc.

I'm not saying "don't download music". I'm just saying be honest with yourself (and others) about what you do. If you don't have a problem downloading music, just say so. If you do have a problem with it, say so. But don't make excuses either way. We all need to be personally accountable for your actions.
