You've eluded the question, though. If any price is too high for a thief, then why do we continue to have consumers who do both? In this case, I think you're implying it. By this logic, if 0.00 was the determining factor, then we'd have zero consumers.

You have to look at when the average consumer is going to be turned onto pirating, not the thief who is already going to steal. People are going to steal regardless, whether it's anime, cars, jewelry, whatever, even when they know it's wrong. You can't form an argument around people who you already know are going to act a certain way; rather, it's more important to find out at what point the consumer is going to find an alternative means of entertainment.
