For me "piracy" means try before buy. IF the code / media / whatnot is in my eyes worthy, I will gladly dip in. If not, I most likely stop using the product and as such have no point in spending money in it. I am fine with this being done to me as an artist (yes, I'm a composer), and it's a good motivator to make a quality track (or a product).

And yes, I reckon it's a form of theft, even thought you do not physicallly take anything, you are still, in a way, taking money out of someones wallet.
