People pirate software for a number of reasons.
1. To avoid the cost of paying for it. This is probably the most common reason.
2. Because they have lost / damaged a copy that they have legally paid for.
3. As a political statement, against the (perceived) oppression by large industries.

4. They didn't know it was pirating. Many people actually believe in a concept known as "abandonware," where if the software developer does not sell, support, or provide the product anymore, that they have "abandoned" it, and thus do not care what is done with it.
