So if you have one single pirate item in your possession, that is the license to pirate everything else? Nice logic, no wonder thieves will be thieves.
I used to live on pirated software because I was a student then, software was around RM-250-300ish (this was the early 90s), and I don't earn money. Now, with OSS and alternatives, why still bother? Ubuntu is one of the more epic examples out there. Should really thanked the ad-based software development model for making available cheap to free alternatives.
And since I earn my own money I also bought 3-4 copies of original windows. The downside? I drive an almost 20 year old car it's cheaper. 40,000K cheaper than a new camry/accord in fact. And that's the money that I save to buy my flatscreen, my software and my music.
As for music, ever since I can buy original itunes track at USD0.99.. why the heck not? it's not like the old days where the only option is CD/LP/LD/DVD which were dictated by our govt taxation rate. I don't listen to the entire album anyway, so the single song purchase option was what I was waiting for.
As for piracy of movies/TV series, I find it a bit of a non-issue, as most homes now have astro, and most of the shows being downloaded are going to be shown on astro anyway, since astro is so slow when it comes to airing current episodes. Such as House MD, CSI etc. etc. And the bulk of it are college students, who have Astro at home, but not at their dorms/college apartments.
Hey I'm amazed, dear hypocrite.I used to live on pirated software because I was a student then, software was around RM-250-300ish (this was the early 90s), and I don't earn money.

So when the time you were a student, you're okay with piracy, but now you're condemning it and want us to buy it. Have you forgotten that not all of us are rich, some are still student as well?
Based on your logic in your post above, as long as we're students = OKAY to pirate.
So I'm still a student, so who the heck cares if I want to pirate, yeah? And no, I can't even afford a phone more than RM400-500, let alone any apple products.
