That, or I am a bastard in a world of angels. It certainly doesn't appear that way.

Some pirated content (I'm keeping it general) I've consumed simply wasn't available in electronic format, other content was priced beyond what I thought reasonable or came with 'features' like DRM that I didn't deem acceptable.
Interesting concept here. A person who steals, but freely admits it, is seen as "refreshingly honest". Am I missing something?
