Piracy is an ugly reality of human nature. Humans like to get as much as they want for as little investment as possible (hello thousands of years of slavery). This is why it's all the rage for multinatinal corporations like Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo to outsource labor to third-world countries to build their consoles with cheap materials made in China, work at the call centres (at least I know MS does this), etc. Leaving many Americans, Japanese, Europeans, etc. out of a manufacturing or call centre job during this recession. Somehow when the little man cheats the system and through his/her actions harms human life, it's wrong but when the big man (like MS, Sony and Nintendo) does it, it's legal. We should be more aware of how our actions harm human life. Even if you don't want to change, at least be aware of the impact of your actions on society. Whether it's from piracy or laying off a bunch of people to ship jobs to a cheaper part of the world or by consuming meat (bigger carbon footprint) or buying a lot of new games (waste of plastic). I'm sure we all do things that negatively impact other human life (ie. I for one can't give up meat no matter how cruel farm animals are treated or how much of a carbon footprint it takes up. I love the stuff) but at the very least we should be aware of that. People need to stop seeing things as morally black or white. We are all in between and the concept of morality can be unclear (this is why they need to do away with these stupid two-dimensional morality systems in wrpgs). If you really wanted to, you can interpret many actions that are considered harmless as immoral.
