Mine was the VCR. I could record Postman Pat and watch it again any time I wanted. Blew my mind.
True, but I believe technically the recording should only be viewed once (which of course would have been impossible to enforce). I wore those tapes out.
Whilst it wasn't piracy in the strictest sense, it instilled the desire to collect media for as cheap as possible in me whilst I was still a pre-schooler.

When I was 3 years old I pirated Barney all over the recording of our trip to Alaska. My parents were so proud.
Back in the day C64 game packs on cassette tapes were a thing in the former Yugoslavia. You could order them via mail for small change. I bought a number of those, I didn't even know it was a thing called piracy. 😅
