I think that before I get into the morality of piracy, a thing that concerns me is when people attempt to justify one medium over another. It ultimately comes down to what you have an appreciation for, you'll find people who have an interest in games and the industry are more hesitant to pirate games whereas people who have a passion for reading don't like to torrent books. I find this hypocritical in the extreme, because I feel that you can have either piracy or not piracy, but you can't have a state in between where you feel some things are acceptable to pirate while others aren't.

I have no moral qualms with pirating things, but I do acknowledge that I am pirating something, I'm not trying to justify myself by saying that the people make a lot of money. I pirate what I want because I want it and because I lack the money or incentive to buy it. It's hypocritical to pretend it's more wrong to pirate games over music, or music over books. Piracy is piracy is piracy, the end result is that you're pirating something.
