It is a truth universally acknowledged...jk.
No, i did not mean all young people, but there will always be a lot of young people who pirate and they will probably continue to be the primary culprits. It's very similar to how young people used to get their books from the library more than not-so-young people, but when they got older they tended to buy books instead of borrow them (now no one goes to the library). We tend to believe everyone walks around with the mindset that the only reason anyone buys anything is because of legal apparatus and government enforcement. People aren't socialist hippy's who will freely share and give, but they also aren't all greedy tightfisted bastards who thinks every transaction with another human being is a zero-sum game. If we are well-off we tend to be more generous with our money than if we are scrounging every penny to get by.

I'd actually say the reason why young people pirate more is because they have more time and energy to do it. Not-so-young people usually want convenience, ease, and security, whereas young people are, lets say more adventurous when it comes to the internet.
