Or do buy the game, encounter the DRM, then download the CD-crack or whatever to bypass it. The various piracy figures are incredibly simplistic and just group "downloads" as "total number of pirates".

Exactly! I have a good number of friends who legitimately own the StarCraft, but have it installed via a crack because it is easier that way. And I've had to use cracks to get games to run in Wine, because the DRM won't work in Wine.
