Depending which country we're talking about. Top 5% in Malawi is probably still a person who needs to pirate, although I could be wrong about that with 3rd world wealth inequality.

Edit: Based on the top 10% figure, guesses and napkin math, that's an income of about 5000USD annually, so yeah pirate away.

Are you free to learn or consume as necessary for your survival from the society you're expected to grow to support? No? Then you have a need to pirate.
