Every one always talks about how piracy caused a loss in sales but no one will ever talk about the positive aspects of Piracy apart from the pirate community. (www.pcgamer.com)

This is a good example and it is hard to attribute a lost sale to pirating as it is more likely there would be no sale if the pirate were unable to obtain it. In some cases it works the other way because someone liked something so much they want to purchase it. Or it helps folks like you gain visibility.
