:
Some of the people who does that feel like they're in the moral high ground, and there are many people who support it because of the DRM policy. DRM was the reason Spore was so pirated on PC, many people who bought it decided to pirate it instead and play without the DRM. There were many people who decided not to buy the game to protest and not to give milions of dollars to big companies so they waste it for something like that. Even if they liked the game.
Except that the moral high ground in this instance would have been the people who neither bought the game nor pirated it. If you disagree with the decisions a business makes then it is certainly your prerogative to not support them financially; however you cannot then lay claim to their product while knowingly refusing to pay for it.

As for the people who bought it and then pirated it? I personally would not take issue with that, but I also recognize that there are other avenues they could have tried.

You guys are unbelievable : it's hair-splitting. Piracy is still illegal, even if you have all the good reasons of the world.
Illegal and immoral are distinct and separate concepts.
