It completely depends on who you ask. The system I've gone with is that it's perfectly fine if it's something no longer being sold by the original publisher, it was never released in your region, or you already own a physical copy. Pirating for the purpose of playing romhacks is also fine.

these days it's fine to pirate. 15 years ago games had demos available that actually let you try it out before buying. now it's like a competition to see who can put a more incomplete, buggy mess and still charge $60. if game publishers actually cared about the product I might care about paying.
