Basically no, practically yes.
It's because pirated media almost always have inferior quality when compared to the original media. And when inferior media is input inside the drive, this usually means the drive has to umm, "struggle" more in order to read or copy the data that is inside it compared to an original copy.
So by theory it can, because using pirates media stresses the drive more because of the copies inferior quality.

No. The thing that goes into your CD-Rom drive is the cd/dvd/vcd, which is just a regular disc, flat, smooth, and shiny on the bottom. Unless your disc somehow has tiny spikes pointing out the bottom side, the lens will be fine.
I'm not sure about your computer software though, especially if the file inside the disc contains some undesirable stuff since it's pirated.
I tried downloading ratatouille from demonoid (the movie took 4 months to come to singapore, dammit. advertisements started in march/april and the movie came on august 30). but the avi file was corrupted and kept asking me to sign up for porn. freak ****.
but my lenses were fine btw.
and if it's of any interest, I paid for a legal ratatouille movie ticket in the end.

initially, the CD-ROM and troublesome drives are 2 completely distinctive issues. That having been suggested, has it been doing this because to procure the pc, or is it a modern progression? it is attainable that the optical area of the cd rom force has in basic terms stopped working.

no it will not harm the lens. However, with windows vista, there is software in place that when paired with newer drives can disable the dvd decoder on the drive.

No, only the recording quality may not be good that makes reading and processing will result poor audio or video output.

No it won't.
But I may add that depending on who copied it and what Media they used to copy it with and what software they used can have an affect on weather you can even view it.

I dont think so. It's just that the hard would put more effort in trying to read the data.
