"It's expensive, but I still want everything, so I pirated it. Seems pretty justified."

Look, I've pirated a ton in my life, but this whole "This is actually a noble pursuit" is such a load of fucking horse shit. We want something and don't want to pay the price that is required to get it, so we take it. The best part is "preserving" it, because we all know that when this guy is done playing, it will be deleted and he'll never think of it again.

This is a much more honest answer, one that I also agree with.
