It's difficult to obtain a copy legally even if you are willing to pay. And if you buy used, you don't benefit the creator either, so what does it matter if you pirate instead? I've argued a lot in the past that copyright should only last 15 years. But at the very least there should be a fee to extend copyright longer than that. It shouldn't be infinite by default.
