heh. fr tho, I think this is more about the political climate in Norway than any sort of national identity. I doubt anyone in the states would openly admit to piracy, even if it was an anonymous survey. I think there's a psych term for that, but I forget it; has to do with fear of retribution when answering questions honestly.
There's a biological term for it: self-preservation.
Seriously though, media copyrights holders and associations like RIAA and MPAA can go fuck themselves. They spit in the face of public domain and their idea of "restitution" would probably include lethal injection if were an option.
