For anyone who's been watching the technology news lately, there've been some pretty big headlines, including
Customers who pirate spend more money on legit software as well
Courts rule that a pirate is not liable to pay the purchase price of what they have pirated, due to the above reason.
I have friends that have a cracked DS, which would annoy me, but they're both busy students, work as much as they have time to, and buy as many genuine Wii games as they can afford. If they didn't pirate the DS, they would have bought some games for it, but had less money to buy Wii games. So it all balances out.
So whilst I don't pirate, I wouldn't blame someone who did. Unless they are very wealthy
