Ethically, I think it's fair to pirate anything that the publisher doesn't care about making available to my region. Especially now that online distribution is a thing, there is absolutely no good excuse to not make any game available in both europe and america.
If my region as a whole isn't worth the effort of putting it through the PEGI board and uploading it to a distribution service, then they don't deserve my money.
I also don't care if I illegally acquire a game for a different platform than I bougt it for. I generally don't buy a game several times unless they've improved it noticably, or there are some really practical benefits of buying it again. Such as automatic steam cloud saves. I have however not pirated more than two games that were released during the last 5 years, so I don't really have problems sleeping at night.
