You live in America don't you? Outside of it things are not all that rosy, as author points out. Sometimes it's plain impossible to buy something, so the options are either not use it (or not listen to it or not watch it) or pirate it. I would pirate it. Another option that I found is that software is somehow worse in the place where I live. A good example is games with awful polish dubbing or an invasive DRM. I actually ended up few times buying a game, just not to use it and download a pirated version anyway.
