I'd also say a big part of pirating is that people like instant gratification. If I have a friend over and I want to introduce them to a show that I watch and I don't own the DVDs and it's not on Netflix/Hulu, I have three options left. I can drive to a store and hope they carry it at a reasonable price, I can order it online, or I can pirate. Even if I'm willing to pay the $20 for the product, pirating will give it to me instantly. I guess I could try a direct download service, but I feel like if I'm paying $20 for a season of something I'd rather have a physical copy.
Definitely. Not to mention if you have a physical copy (or the pirated version) you don't ever have to worry about a service going offline or anything like that preventing you from being able to verify your license to own and watch it.
