Here's another way of looking at pirating, technically the thing that's being pirated is just being shared not stolen, because in order for it to be pirated in the first place someone must of bought it. If I let a friend borrow a game I own is that not pirating?

I think the difference there would be that if you take the game back, your friend no longer can play the game, but that's not so if your friend cracks the game, then returns the game to you, which would be considered pirating on his/her part, not yours.
