It is morally and ethically ok to pirate media that no longer legally accessible.

Plus all other media

Don't pirate indie games and small projects though. They usually deserve the money.

I don't, but I definitely don't think it would be wrong to. IP is an illegitimate idea, and has just as much legitimacy imo as a stranger telling me I'm obligated to pay them to breathe near them. I pay for some games as a donation, not a purchase.
