people who hate spending money for shitty products

Uh, no. Unless you consider 95 percent (or whatever) of all the movies and music and software ever made as consistently "shitty".

Or they hate paying an inflated price.

Look up "beethoven symphonies" on piratebay, and you'll see plenty of people seeding and leeching. Then look up the same on amazon, and you'll see that all 9 are available together as low as 20 dollars. If 20 dollars is an "inflated price" for that product, well, then there's no point in trying...

Piracy is competition and should be treated as such

Compete with zero? Sigh. Blah-dee, blah-dee, blah.
