No, pirates constantly get a superior product to anything you can buy.
That's because the DRM is stripped, the DRM often have many compatibility/integrity/security issues etc. that pirates never have to worry about. They are not forced to watch through FBI warnings before watching a movie.
The experience of downloading something is vastly superior to buying it in most cases, and that's assuming you can buy it at all (pirates don't have to wait/hope for a TV series to be released outside of US, for instance).
