I wouldn't say "clearly", though the piracy problem exists. Lots of people
involved in 3d have access to legit copies of software they could never afford
themselves, because they attend a CG class or work for a CG company. So the
"who's got the biggest one" attitude is annoying but more related to
testosterone than to piracy per se IMHO. Pov people tend to have an "attitude"
too...

About less high-end software like Bryce or Vue, it's also debatable. Someone who
can afford the hardware to run Pov smoothly can also afford these programs, and
older versions of them are often available for (almost) free in magazines, or
bundled with other programmes (like Bryce3D with Poser 4).
