I don't think it's "right". People claiming that they should be able to have things for free simply because "it's a new time" or something are dumb. However, I still pirate. I don't feel bad about it. If I enjoy something, I will buy it. For example, I pirated Crusader Kings 2, and when I found out it was awesome, bought it. Same with Mount and Blade Warband. I pirated Game of Thrones, and ended up buying all the novels, posters (eventually will buy the blurays, but they are kinda expensive). I watch pretty much all my anime illegally (not really same thing as pirating, but w/e), but those that I enjoy I buy (or plan to buy, some of it is really -blam!-ing expensive). "Lost sale" is a stupid -blam!-ing concept. I wasn't going to go and randomly subscribe to HBO or buy Game of Thrones on a whim. I pirated it to see if I enjoyed it, and I did. Now I am a customer. The same goes for anything. I'm a fanatic when it comes to obsessing over things I enjoy (if I like it, I need something proving I like it). So I pirate things, and if I enjoy them, I will pay the people back. If I didn't like it, well, I wasn't going to be a customer in the first damn place, so it isn't a lose sale.
