I completely agree with you but would go one step further - piracy is not only “not immoral”, it is ethically necessary. Without piracy the hard work people have put into their creations (e.g. for the Nintendo WiiU/3DS) could vanish at the whim of one small group of people (in this example, Nintendo C-level execs). Of course there are other reasons too. But this alone is sufficient IMHO.

In my opinion, piratary is not immoral at all. The human knowledge was built socially, it’s fruits should be shared socially.
