Format shifting by itself does not automatically fall into the piracy category. To turn format shifting (a copyright infringement) into piracy requires distribution or intent to distribute (e.g. make available for download) with or without monetary gain. Format shifting may or may not even be copyright infringement depending on jurisdiction and use case.
