I don't see piracy as a bad thing at all. It just matters who's doing it.
Had I not gotten warez copies of VB, VC++, Photoshop, Dreamweaver and a bunch of other things in high school I never would have learned to use them. Once I learned, I was able to use them to make money, thus being able to afford the next version that comes out.
So instead of "losing money", warez made me a potential customer. Had I never gotten them I never would have had the money or a reason to buy the legit copies. In the long run they've gained a customer and sold hundreds, maybe thousands worth of software to me that I would never have purchased.
It's all relative. There's no good or evil, just different shades of grey.
