I come from a country where you can go to a shop and get any software cracked for less than $1. As I was growing up, original software was an oddity.
Now I try to get legit software if I can. For example I paid $30 for my copy of Windows. It's better morally and from many other aspects.
However if I can't afford it, and if I can't find an acceptable free alternative, then I will reluctantly tolerate cracked software. But I keep striving for a legit alternative.
Piracy is not evil. Digital is all about ease of copy and communication. You can't enjoy the advantage of that, but then not expect people to use that against at some point, or have to deal with the downsides.
However it's the attitude of getting it for free just because you can and not caring about how the software is done and how people who spend time and effort to make that software that you're using, how they get their fair share back - it's that attitude that I don't like about piracy.
