I would suggest those who engage in frequent piracy are akin to that new roommate who argues that he needn't pay his share of the monthly cable/internet bill as, if it were up to him, we wouldn't have it, that we were paying it monthly before he arrived anyway, and that we would have paid it whether he showed up or not. In his mind it is perfectly reasonable to benefit from these without paying into them as nothing has really changed.
Nothing he said is technically wrong, but that doesn't make him any less of a freeloading dirtbag (we're not terribly fond of him at this point).
That said, I'm still not in favor of these absurd DRM efforts that are justified by an overblown piracy problem. It is certainly made out to be a larger problem than it is, but I can hardly fault people for trying to fight piracy so long as their methods don't screw over the rest of us.
