Forum:Is this a good idea?

Hi, well, I was wondering, is a good idea buy the original Base Game of The Sims 3 and then buy pirate copies of expansion packs and stuff packs? I know PIRACY is ROBBERING so on it's illegal, but really, I live in Venezuela and here it's expensive to buy original copies (take like 150$ each one) while piracy copies goes more around an accesible price for a normal person, so it's good buy the original game just for entering the Sims official page and then buy all the EPs and SPs pirates, please, do not tell me it's a bad behavior 'cause I already know that, and it wont help The Sims crew to make new games, but really, I need to know
