When I was young and not a computer engineer and didn't really think it through I pirated. Everyone was doing it... But I learned and now I support those who provide good entertainment.
The argument that you wouldn't have payed $$ anyways doesn't make it right. These companies are trying to provide entertainment and get paid for it. If you don't pay for it, it isn't your right to be able to enjoy the entertainment they created for free. The copying bits thing doesn't even matter, it is a matter of using someone else's hard work for your own entertainment without providing proper compensation.
