If so I could name a few people I know that will break that research.
Also I know people who would buy more if they were unable to pirate anything.

Research indicates that people that pirate also tend to buy media; so you'll get people that pirate some things, but that will buy other things that they could have pirated. This is mainly a response to arguments that pirates won't pay if there are free versions available. It turns out a lot (but not all) piracy is a result of people not being able to get what they want in the format they want from legitimate sources.
