My controversial opinion is, that everything that cannot be bought for reasonable amount of money, also cannot be "pirated" (the act of copying should not be considered as illegal piracy).
The main reason why piracy is illegal is, that studios/producers/writers lose money, because people pirate instead of buy. If I cannot buy eg. Super Mario 64 from nintendo in my country, and if I copy the game (and emulate it or whatever), I never actually caused any monetary loss for Nintendo by doing that.
