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

That's fair, I didn't specify DRM-free. Still probably better than buying through Amazon.

But I'd prefer to use my own ebook reader.
