I do not agree. It is one of the elements in the chain that lead to

That's much better - 'element in a chain'. Much better than 'it has
caused'.

'Caused' sounds right to me. Consider the converse - if there was no such
thing as piracy, would there be non-standard copy protected CDs, nag screens
on movies, etc?
