Some people don't see piracy as wrong, though. I hate to use the comparison, but it would be like banning people people for being gay. It's just a different point of view.

There are gray areas to people such as being gay.  That is not a clear right or wrong to everyone and people can argue either side until the cows come home.

With piracy, it's flat out stealing, and this isn't the type of stealing that you can use the old would you steal bread to feed your family argument because while food is a necessity, gaming isn't.  Piracy is stealing and that's really all there is to it.  It doesn't matter if you (general you, not you cdude) think it's right or not wrong, it just is.

Is it alright for me to rape someone because I think it's not wrong?

Also, I'm not going to get until into the piracy is not stealing argument if you don't intend to buy, this isn't the thread for that argument.

 

Ehhhh, I've heard debates about piracy and justifying it. Some people say companies such as Adobe over charge their products. Specifically for music, that the price of CD albums (despite CDs becoming dirt cheap) are still the same from a decade ago.

There's plenty of people who would advocate piracy.
