Pirated product is always better. It's ironic.
You can defeat a fingerprint scan numerous ways. Not any different than any other DRM.
Redirect server requests to your own server that spoofs a positive response (used for online-required-DRM-games). Proceed to strip content out.
Get into code and modify it so that it ways returns a 1 and approves access. Proceed to strip content out for piracy.
Flash firmware to circumvent hardware DRM, which gets you into the firmware enough to destroy the DRM entirely (kind of like the Nintendo DS).
Fingerprint scans are no different than any other hardware-based security. You still need two things - content with encryption and hardware allowed to decode it. It's that second part that always ends up creating the problem. Until you can inject data into people's brains directly you can't skip the second part.
