Back during college I use to pirate music (early 2000's) because I just didn't want to pay and I didn't want to buy whole CD. It was a pretty miserable experience back then because you had to deal with misnamed songs, songs disguised as another song (I can't count how many times I thought I downloaded one song and some jackass just renamed a Brittany Spears song), and slow downloads, but it was free.
As soon as iTunes came around I stopped pirating. I no longer had to try different names for songs, I didn't have to deal with jerks that misnamed songs, and I could pick what songs to buy.
Since then, I haven't pirated anything (well, except for Limbo of the Lost, but they deserved it and there was no other way to get the game).
