I reject the premise that all, or even most people would pirate if they "knew how to". If that were true, there would be no market for any sort of digital media.

pwalker8 has ascertained more closely the meaning of my statement.

It is only common sense to realize that to pirate one must know how and then have the opportunity and finally a desire or need to do it.

Still as shalym indicates there is more to the act than simply a skill. There will be and must be also choices made on when and how to apply that skill.
