Piracy is the equivalent of repeatedly breaking into a movie theater without paying.

Not really. You take up a seat in that theater. Or at the very least, you take up space in it. Game Piracy doesnt work that way. They only thing that is "taken" is the user's desire to purchase the software, a desire that no one can prove existed to begin with!

Very well, getting onto a plane, sitting in the cargo hold (there's plenty of room left over), and saying "I wouldn't have flown on this plane if I had to pay!"

But by taking up space, you are taking up a resource that could be used elsewhere. It more like using a different lower cost method to get to your destination instead of buying a plane ticket. Pirated software is a rival good. A very good rival good since the product is at least as good, and at a far better price.
