Well, enjoy it while it lasts because if your country has any intention of ever doing business with any other European country, the "legality" of piracy will go away in an instance. No one wants to have their products sold in a country where people can, basically, steal it (since you're taking possession of something that isn't yours and you don't pay the creator for it).
Now, piracy: everyone does. EVERYONE. Including policeman, artists, politicians.
Within Europe piracy laws aren't all the same. But there's a common agreement: the act to piracy consists in making money out of the works of others illegitimately. So if I download a CD and replicate it and then resell it, THAT is piracy. I'm making money out of the works of others.
However, when it comes to copies of things that one owns, it gets greyer and a hell of a lot muddier for the law. You CAN make copies of the things you buy. The last country that didn't had a private copy law was the UK (to my knowledge) and they've finally created that.
So I CAN pick a CD I bought and rip it either to put the songs on an mp3 player or to produce, for example, a copy of it to use in the car. And who's to prevent me from picking up my copy, that I legally made, and lend it to a friend? No one. Technically you are allowed to do that since you own that product and you're free to do with it whatever the hell you want. Even burn it. It's your property.
You can see why piracy is such a legal mess, then, when you add the new technologies to it. Because the same thing can apply to online services. I can rip a film into my computer to see it there or upload it to a cloud storage to then download it somewhere else. It's my property.
Enter the sharing communities. Just like you can share a book with a friend, so can you share a movie. The problem is: when with a physical copy of something you temporarily lose the property of it, with a digital file you can keep your copy and still send it to your friend.
It's a nightmare to judge these things in court. Which is why seldom anyone is persecuted for sharing something online. The case, however, changes, when they do it for money. So if you are monetizing through the sharing of files, then you're pirating. That's why they normally go after the Kim Dot Com's and the Pirate Bays, etc. They don't try to go after the users (they'd be mad to even try that. They'd have to bring MILLIONS of people to court) but after those who monetize from the activity.
But wait: it gets muddier.
Enter the ISP's and carriers. Both PROFIT from people "pirating" stuff. No one would need unlimited data plans or ultra fast speeds of internet to send emails and play Farmville. ISPs and carriers do incentive piracy by providing the means to the customers.
The major problem is this: companies were accustomed to the old ways where they could charge a lot for products. The music industry was used to charge you 20€ for a CD that you'd have to buy even if you only wanted one song. And people got tired of that and started downloading them without paying because they KNEW they were being ripped off. Have you notices how so few artists nowadays complain about piracy? That's because the artists themselves were being exploited by the producing companies. That's why some even started to release their songs independently, directly to the consumer. Some even say the consumer can pay for the album what they deem fair.
Same problem with the film industry. Hollywood was accustomed to make hundreds of millions by tricking people into watching whatever they released even if it was crap. Except nowadays people can see the film without being robbed by a cinema. I, for example, refuse to pay 8€ for a film ticket to see a film ONCE when the Blu-Ray will cost me 10€ or 14€ and I'll watch it the amount of times I wish.
That's why nowadays the film industry is searching for alternatives.
And then there's the fact that often "pirates" turn into customers.
Take HBO's Game of Thrones for example. It's the MOST pirated show of all time. You know what HBO's producers said? That they didn't care, that they felt flattered. Why? Because also a ton of people ended up subscribing to HBO. Or then buy the Blu-Rays when they come out.
I, personally, seldom - but very seldom - pirate. Nowadays the only thing I download are TV shows so I don't have to wait months before they're aired here IF they're aired at all. So I normally download the episodes to watch them as they're being aired. Then, when the Blu-Rays are released, I buy the blu-ray and delete the files.
I also used to do that with music, but with things like Spotify and Xbox Music I no longer need. I listen to the CDs for free on those services. Then if I like the CD, I buy it (I personally prefer physical copies. I don't buy digital music). The day I can do that with films and TV shows (because, say, Netflix starts offering their services here etc, I'll also gladly stop downloading them).
As for software, both Windows and Office are legit. But then again, I seldom pay a lot for them because I get them from a friend at Microsoft that has the employers discounts. Otherwise I wouldn't, for example, have upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 nor from Office 2003 to Office 2013. Both W7 and O2003 did all I needed them to do. But because I could legally get the new versions for a cheaper price, I did. But I would never pay 130€ every time Microsoft releases a new version of Office or Windows. And lots of others don't too and Microsoft knows that. They know people normally only upgrade those things when they buy new PCs. Which is why the "Windows with Bing" was created. Which is why Apple is now offering the updates to OSX. I think we'll also watch a similar revolution in software as we did in music.
