I doubt he was talking about an exchange rate. Not that I'm suggesting or excusing pirating, but Canada is a far (far) nicer place to live and setting up a home studio probably an order of magnitude more do-able for the average citizen.
But as several of us have pointed out now, pirating really isn't necessary. There are plenty of good DAWs and the plugins to go with them that are free. I know I was amazed when I got into it and found this out.
