Morals do not exist. Many people think morals exist and follow their own morals. The origin of "morals" is just self-preservation and preservation of your lineage. I make it a point to not steal anything, as in removing property from someone else to take as my own, because in our current society I could likely be caught and punished, which is bad because of self-preservation reasons. I also think that the world will be a better place without stealing and anarchy, for both me and my lineage. Of course I can rethink my stance given the situation, as when it comes to digital media, which doesn't involve any real stealing in the traditional sense. Therefore I pirate alot, because I can, and there's no real risk in doing it. Not doing it would be a pointless sacrifice on my end. But I do recognize the problem that if nobody pays anything, then I will not be able to continue to consume these goods in the long run, so therfore I often buy games that I played and liked before, or coming from companies I know make great games. When it comes to music I don't pay for the big artists and bands, because frankly, they don't need the money to continue to produce the music. But for smaller artists I buy.
Some people will probably be outraged by this kind of thinking and will claim that "in that case then rape is not immoral" etc. The thing is that mostly what is considered to be "moral" coincide with what is good for you and your genes in the long run, but arguing for morality for it's own sake is just pointless.
