I used to pirate a lot of software. Then my friends got jobs at software companies. Then they got laid off. The only pirated stuff I have now are old (10+ years) games, that I couldn't run on the computer I had at the time, and they are no longer available to purchase.
I view music a bit differently. I just don't see most of the money going to anyone who adds any value to the product. I buy few CDs now (mostly used), and only rarely download an mp3 file (3-4/year).
