I have been dealing a lot in piracy. I don't really do that anymore. I've switched to many free or fair software creators. I don't mind paying for the software or games I use. I do mind paying for something, and then not owning it, and being tracked by it and just paying a lot, because the software producer has a kind of monopoly.
I support FOSS and others, with small donations. Like Mozilla, LibreOffice, Inkscape, Krita, Linux Mint and a lot of others.
I think you should pirate away on unethical companies. Do it for many of the reasons other mention in this thread, and do it because they are greedy and don't respect you!
