Nobody is going to come round and raid you for *discussing* the concept of piracy, even in the extremely unlikely even they find out your details.
Also I don't think even the RIAA would try to sue you for obviously being genuinely misled. (Software copyright holders tend to go after distributers anyway, not users)
I'm sort of wondering how long it'll take before open source software is made illegal because it does exactly the same thing - it "deprives" companies like Microsoft of their potential income. As a very strong capitalist economy, I'm sure the US would do that if OSS became enough of a threat.
