Pirating only proves that you want a product and aren't willing to pay for it at all. Brand new or second hand, it doesn't matter, you just do not want to pay. Pirates do not support anything, because by definition support is either to sustain, bear, serve as a foundation or hold up. In essence pirates do none of these things. The only thing that holds it together

Pirate (verb)- A:to commit piracy upon; plunder; rob.
B: to use or reproduce (a book, an invention, etc.) without authorization or legal right: to pirate hit records.

In essence gaming pirates are modern day PC/console thieves. Developers should know the difference as to where they are being "supported" by these people or not.
