Until business models improve and catch up to technology in the modern age then I think there are certain times when pirating is fine. Larger companies need to realise that digital distribution is a global model and that restrictions based on geographical region is just going to fuel piracy in this modern era of global networks.
Then there's things like DRM which make the pirated versions the superior one (*cough* Ubisoft *cough*). Basically laws and businesses need to adapt to the new tech faster than they are currently if they want to make a serious dent in piracy rates.
