I have to disagree with you.
Just because a kit is "out of print" does not make it fair game for piracy.
In fact, you have no right to expect designers and/or publishers to make a kit more available...or eternally available...or available at all.

Its a privalege to get a model when it is available, and if you miss it, oh well.

If a publisher puts out a model for a limited time, or goes out of business, or just decides to not distribute a model any more, then you must accept that its gone.

You should have bought it (or downloaded it for free) when it was available.
Those who decide to pirate it after that, are just thieves.

Free models are pirated, so its not about money.
Widely distributed models are pirated, so its not about access.
The arguments that because a model is "out of print" or "no longer available" come from thieves trying to justify their piracy.
