Indeed I could. In-fact... There was a study done where Piracy could have potentially led to an increase in video game sales.

I mean... Minecraft is probably the best example. That was a free game, for everyone with the broswer-based "classic" version, people got hooked... And then Notch rolled out the Beta/Minecraft with a price tag attached that we sort of know today.
I am not a supporter of piracy though. But if I couldn't afford to buy video games, you bet'cha I would do it.
