That's possibly because piracy is illegal, and sees no money going to the developer/publisher, and the buying or selling of used games, which does see money going to the developer/publisher isn't. They are better than a pirate, and i'm really really struggling to see how you can justify lumping sellers/purchasers of second hand goods with people who illegally download software for free.
Someone purchases a game, and money goes to the publisher, they then sell that game at a lower price than they bought it to someone who wouldn't otherwise have bought that game, who possibly buys DLC also. The original purchaser then has extra money to spend on another game, another publisher gets money. Plus, if there's no second hand market, you'd see far smaller game (and console) sales than we currently see.
It's high horse by the way. Highchairs are what babies sit in.
