Well put! Durzels post is a great summary of a common sense approach to the topic.
The problem is with Piracy is that you are never going to persuade people that think it's OK to rip off other peoples work that it's wrong because they already know that.
As soon as you try to have a sensible discussion about it you generally get dragged down into pointless semantics, arguing over if companies are evil in the first place and 101 other arguments designed to dilute, as Druzel says the fundamental point.
Ripping off (and I use that phrase rather than the benign "copying" on purpose) peoples property (intellectual or not) is generally wrong. The law at the moment makes it very difficult for anyone to deal with this effectively and clearly needs updating to take digital assets into account.
However it's a two way thing and there should be an agreement from the main copyright holders to modernise their business practises (downloads, flat rate "all you can eat" services, allowing family/3 copies of an asset type licenses) in exchange for the law being clarified and the process to pursue those that persistently infringe copyright being made easier.
