To be completely honset I think piracy can be a heathy thing. It gives the consumer more control over what he/she really wants to spend their hard earned money on. This encourages conpanies to actually make quality products.
If people can afford and really like the product in mind, I've got no doubt they'll actually want to buy the product and support the company/band/person, etc.
Piracy is a liberty buffer for me, by the people, for the people.
