Even using the coyote might be illegal for making your banner, for that matter.
AS a computer scientist, piracy affects me aswell. Piracy has been in computers much before than in the film industry.
WHen I'm at work, I would never allow my boss to use a pirated software. Why?? because he'd be using that software to make profit. But I wouldn't tell anything to him if he wanted it for personal use. In fact, Software companies that suffered piracy as much as the industry, do allow to experience the real thing (photoshop for instance) for 30 days before purchasing. This is because they have been facing piracy for more time than the *INDUSTRY* of films, and because they've been smarter to create alternatives like the "30 days evaluation" thingy.
There will always be people who'd still download and crack photoshop, but there are many grateful users that convinced of the evaluation period they buy the product. I apply the same philosophy to eerything else. I'm a thief? ok The police will catch me then.
