How is paying $50 for a game, not reproducing or copying it in any shape or form, but instead defeating inappropriate software restrictions designed to force you to play it online instead of on your own computer....how is that piracy?

I would think the ones sharing the games are guilty of copyright infringement. The ones downloading are guilty of theft, morally if not legally. Your example probably falls under the EULA somehow. It's certainly not theft or copyright infringement, so not piracy.
*edit* and we're probably not allowed to talk about it, in any case.
