Yeah I'm not sure "generational" is the correct term here. It was often the same people living through those eras (and beyond) who were doing the pirating. It wasn't a generational shift in that different generations were necessary for CDs to get copied; everyone in every generation was changing how they operated as technology changed. Piracy naturally evolved with the times. Because of course it did. Why wouldn't it?
