Personally as one of those pirates they are trying to stop piracy is only an issue when your content is not easily accessible the legal way or it is too expensive.
I have experienced both. For instance songs are very cheap when your monthly income over £1,500 but when your monthly income is £300 (that's the equivalent in pounds in the country i grew up in) that's a bit too much for just one song.
Same for everything else since they're all price for the US,UK,etc market.
Now that i can afford it i choose to pay for the content i like (it's my way of encouraging the people creating the things i like) even though i could still pirate it.
Then again I'm still forced to pirate some things that can't get legally.
Wish i didn't have to but it's not like their giving me a choice.
