Making copies of music has always been against copyright law, but it didn't stop anyone buying tape recorders to make a copy of their favourite record back in the day nor has it stopped anyone since. The same is true of copying films, downloading said media from youtube etc. These thiefs have been allowed to get away with it until now, but thankfully its all in the process of changing.

Piracy is copyright theft from the original content makers, it is literally putting thousands of people out of business every day, but people still do it and think its funny. It is the same as going in to a shop and helping yourself to goods and walking out, and the sooner its clamped down on, the better. [/end of rant]
