it's hard to deny it's illegal in many places. If you're ok with breaking the law, and you think it's moral to "pirate"

It may be illegal, but that does not mean a pirate is breaking the law. The basis of piracy is to sovereignly act, without blessing from the land oligopoly. A pirate may be attacked by a nation, but the concept of law is absent from such interaction.

I was referring to piracy of intellectual property. I should have been more clear.
