Time, I don't want to spend hours trying to download some album. I'll pay for stuff if I can get it faster/easier/in a higher quality, which is pretty much always. Even better if I can support the artist with it! That said, I think there are valid reasons to 'pirate' something. For example, when you can't get something from where you're living. A good example of this are US TV shows. A lot of people in Europe watch them and wouldn't mind paying for them, but there are simply no options other then importing a DVD box 6mo-12mo after release or waiting until a broadcaster licenses the show. You could probably get Hulu or Netflix up and running over a VPN, but this is not something non tech people can really do and it's illegal by EU law as well I believe.
