The irony is that I feel like I own my pirated content more than any of the digital content I've actually purchased in the past.

Piracy gives you freedom, whereas paying for content just deprives you of your money

Feel? Without question you have ownership in a way legal distributors no longer allow for. Physical media aside of course, but even that has a hassle to it that pirated content circumvents.

There is simply no downside to having a collection of movies, tv shows and music on your HDD that no one can take away and plays in any modern operating system hassle free.
