Some people pirate simply because they can. Most people will never use 75% of what Photoshop can do yet they will pirate it when Gimp could serve their needs just as well. They simply collect software because it is there. Others, I feel, pirate from a sense of entitlement. You do not have to look very far to find people complaining about people making profits while talking on their iPhone while carrying a laptop. Where "World of Goo" is concerned some Linux users think all software should be free. Side note: Notice how most media outlets will tell you pirated software is always full of viruses? In my experience most distributors/hacker groups take great offense to saying their releases contain viri.
