I don't agree with piracy, at least not when the person doing it has the resources to pay for the game. If they are a student and/or stuggling to make ends meet, I don't see the problem, as they'd never have bought the game anyway.
However for less 'developed' nations, piracy is so rampant and prevalent that only a rich saint would actually buy new stuff all the time. I visited Venezuela and all the stores in malls and stuff had burned stuff for sale. If you wanted to buy the actual original game you'd have to go out of your way and pay an exorbitant price for it.
I can hardly blame anyone living in those circumstances for piracy. It you can download it for free, that's probably better than supporting bootleggers and otherwise games would just be so expensive you'd never play them at all.
