Depends what you mean about piracy.
To my way of thinking piracy is the criminal activity of duplicating copyright material and selling it to make money when you have no legal right to make money from that material. This I utterly detest and there is no moral, ethical or legal justification for it.
However that's not to say I am against other forms of copying copyright material for free distribution.
I'm very sympathetic towards the Richard Stallman (of GNU+Linux fame) view of copyright (or copyleft as he terms it). If you make money of someone else's material then you owe them. If you distribute it without charge but ensure the receiver knows who created the material then you owe nothing and you're doing nothing wrong. If you modify the material and distribute it free of charge then as long as you acknowledgte that what you've distributed has content derived from someone else (and you identify that someone else), then you are all clear. Just don't try to claim someone else's material as your own.
