That's a point I forgot to add in my last post.
Around here in North America, piracy is seen as a way to get goods free. There is a world of difference between buying pirated goods and getting them for free, much like Abandonware if you like.
Buying pirated goods is just like resell and is really seen as illegal around here by about anybody. Get it for free tough and it really lessen the "bad" feeling about it. It's seen more as a "share" attitude that way I guess.
I know that there is other places in the world where piracy is synonym of buying good instead of getting them for free. I would never understand how someone could accept that without associating this to thief immediatly...
