I personally use P2P to download and evaluate full versions of an app. Then If I feel that it is worth the over inflated price I will buy it. but I am sorry I will not pay 150 bucks for an operating system. I will not pay 50-60 bucks for a game that I will put maybe 30 hours into. Its just not economical. I think the main reason us "pirates" exsist is because of companies putting prices that are way out of the scope of the software/music/video. If these companies would realize that more people would purchase their products if they were more reasonably priced they would not have this big piracy issue.
Just my 2 cents
Peace ,
