Just a note. I think piracy is a lot more widespread than you'd like to believe, and will only continue to be so, as the generation of children with broadband in the home and university grows up.

Well, I doubt you can trust any numbers you find on the subject... and the difference even 2 years makes, in internet age, is immense. I'm sure the numbers for teen pirating are higher, with no useful way to obtain honest answers for a survey, nor to separate their use from the use of adults or others on the same computer.
