I can't imagine there being anyone on HN who reads this poll and thinks "well I am always downloading software/films/etc illegally, but I certainly wouldn't call myself a pirate, so I'll vote no!"
It's not comparable to the abortion idea, because being called a "baby murderer" is pretty offensive, whereas being called a "software pirate" really isn't ever going to offend anyone who does download illegaly (many of which would most likely already refer to themselves as pirates).
