Well, only he can speak for himself...and I'm willing to bank that his opinion regarding his own actions has more credibility than your conjecture. Granted, other people could very well act your way, but if someone clearly states that they would not buy said product...I'd imagine they wouldn't buy that product.
Same goes for me...but without the copyright-infringement downloading part. If I don't like your product at its set price...guess what, I'm not going to buy it - just that simple. I'd either wait for the price to fall, or find a better-suited alternative than pay for a product I don't agree with.
There is a vast difference between what is reasonably priced and what is overpriced. I personally feel that office 2007 is overpriced. People can find alternatives to that. However, for that $15 CD that you listen to for free, those most people would buy if they couldn't pirate them. I am very certain of it.
As you said though, it would depend on the person and that I can agree with.
