If I did that at my university I would get kicked out.
Edit: I do agree that Nintendo's business model sucks and isn't profitable for anyone. If only they would have slashed the prices of downloadable games with 50%, I would have bought so much more.

No, I don't. And honestly I hate it when people say they will pirate a game because it costs too much/I'm poor/the company did something I don't like.
It's really simple - just don't buy the game. Don't buy it. The sense of entitlement people have kills me. And if the company did something bad that makes you not want to support them, then just boycott the game completely rather than pirate. Don't talk about the game, don't encourage others to buy it.
Ever since I realized that my VC games would be gone along with my Wii, I haven't purchased a single VC title. However, if my Wii does break or gets stolen, and I PURCHASE a new one, I wouldn't hesitate to restore the VC games I had already paid for. I don't see how that's stealing - it's just restoring the bits you already had. No one loses in that deal - Nintendo still has their money, and you didn't deplete their stock of something.
