I don't "refuse" to pirate anything. If I buy something I see it basically as a donation, that I like what the creator does and want to support them. I tend to buy indie games for that reason; I wouldn't buy a AAA game because obviously they don't need the money. Oh, and I buy books if I know the author is actually a good writer, ie if I've read something by them before and I want to support their writing. Also seconding what people are saying about FOSS; I've donated a lot more to FOSS projects than I've paid for proprietary software.
