That may be true to some degree but I think for younger people especially piracy is a simple act of frugality. A crime with no perceivable victim that saves you a fair amount of money. Kind of a twisted over entertained version of stealing bread to feed your family. It's not so much that they don't want to pay. They simply don't have the money for all the things they want so they prioritize. The old MPAA tagline of 'Would you download a car?' always made me think about having a free downloaded car and a wallet full of non-car-payment money to go with it. Put into that context it's very alluring. For some people who really likes music, movies and games the money saved via piracy could actually be most of a monthly car-payment. In that sense you can indirectly download a car by saving money.
