Not all of your so-called "piracy" is a criminal offense; that is restricted to specific situations. Most would just fall under the category of copyright infringement, which has been discussed ad finitum in various other threads.
The poll is flawed because it reflects your preconceptions, and though there seem to be many choices, the choices just reflect your particular pigeon-holes, not the reality of the community of users.
Sideloading in and of itself is not an issue; it is merely a shifting of a file from one device to another. If I move a wallpaper .jpg from one device to another, I am sideloading.
You, by equating the action of sideloading with your definition of piracy, are seemingly trying to get people to self-incriminate with this poll. But because the wording of the poll has to be deliberately vague in order not to run afoul of MR's rules, your results are skewed because each person is interpreting the possible poll choices in conjunction with their personal definition of the terminology used, which is not necessarily yours. Your attempts to clarify your meanings are merely increasing the morass.
