There's no such thing as "pirating". "Pirating" is just a buzz word that some use as a ignorant epithet and others hold as a badge of honor.

The question is, "Am I breaking copyright law by downloading this software?"

Here's a flow chart so you can check for yourself:

    Did you purchase said software?
      a) Yes
         -> Then you are not breaking copyright law.

      b) No
         -> Then you are breaking copyright law.

Distributing the copyrighted material, as many torrent clients do for you automatically, is another matter altogether.
