The pro-piracy argument seems to be: We're here, live with it!

Well the government and all their favorite lobbyists are also here and they can legislate dongles, or embedded serial numbers in chips for user tracking, or increased access to ISP information with use of TIA and other monstrosities.

You'll have a hard time justifying a pro-piracy position on ideological grounds. And without accounting for government reaction to piracy, you'll have a tough time justifying it on pragmatic grounds as well.
