What about the friends lists? Can your friends see that you own pirated copies? Back in 2010 it seemed like my pirated copies didn't get recognized by Steam and thus didn't show up on my list of owned games, so my friends though I only played Mount & Blade Warband and Bad Company 2 while in reality I had dozens of pirated games installed on my PC. (this is maybe a minor issue, but still)

I rarely pirate games anymore so I'm not sure, but I think your friends list will only show that you're playing a non-Steam game and that's all. Like I said, though, I don't know about that, and another reason for that is that I don't use the non-Steam game feature on Steam.
