The moral of piracy is hard to define imo. And there's definitely no hard right or wrong.
In my case, in the past I pirate because I live in a 3rd world country and $60 is entire month's salary.
Nowadays, some time games doesn't offer demo or trial, and I can't afford to buy something I wouldn't enjoy after 30 minutes playthrough.
Some people say they pirate because fuck the devs or publishers. But then you But for me, if some devs or publishers are considered bad and not worth supporting in my eyes, I just doesn't give a shit about anything they put out. It's that simple, don't look it up, don't talk about it, don't engage in its discussion online, fuck'em. Nintendo is one of those in my eyes because of their constant anti-consumer behavior.
