I'll go straight to the point:

Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

People here don't need convincing, I think, but I still wouldn't pay if piracy wasn't an option. I'll find another hobby. Besides, laws making it illegal are quite recent, thanks to greedy corporations. If it was immoral, there wouldn't have been that much discussion about it.
