Technology shouldn't dictate people's morality. I find that with technology (aka price aggregators and websites where you can buy stuff on sale constantly) it's very easy to legally purchase entertainment. If anything the internet is a reason NOT to engage in piracy. One of the sites I follow notified me when the entire run of BSG was available on blu-ray for 80 bucks. What more do people want exactly? After all the cute semantics the reality is that people just want a bunch of free stuff, this isn't a civil rights movement.
