If you're going to get all pedantic about these terms, certainly you must bring up the actual definition of "piracy":
Piracy is a robbery committed at sea, or sometimes on the shore, without a commission from a sovereign nation.
That said, whatever you want to call it, it's hard to deny it's illegal in many places. If you're ok with breaking the law, and you think it's moral to "pirate", then by all means go ahead.

It may be illegal, but that does not mean a pirate is breaking the law. The basis of piracy is to sovereignly act, without blessing from the land oligopoly. A pirate may be attacked by a nation, but the concept of law is absent from such interaction.

I was referring to piracy of intellectual property. I should have been more clear.
