I make it a point to not have pirated movies. I torrent linux distributions and free music (OC Remix); and I buy my software or use free alternatives. It may be true that most people have cracked software, pirated movies and [illegal] torrents, but it's not everyone.

I don't even think most people have those things. Many, sure, but while I am on your end of the spectrum (free software, etc.), many people don't care, or can't be bothered to get those thing, morals aside.
