Well, this answer is basically what I was looking for. So piracy is frowned upon in general public and shouldn't be discussed outside people "in the loop", but some mild elements like account sharing are acceptable. Thanks.
Eh, torrenting is fairly common here in Norway. No one in tech circles will raise an eyebrow if you pirate anything for private use, and most outside of tech circles won't care. It is a bit more frowned upon for using in a business, so that's a gotcha.
As a Swede, I can confirm what Joakim wrote. Pretty much the same deal here. General pirating isn't a big deal really and is usually pretty safe to discuss in an informal setting. It's like speeding. It's really common, but maybe don't brag about it? Oh, don't do much speeding in Finland. Joakim will tell you why. 😀
