Imagine you walk into the High Museum of Art in Atlanta..you take the nicest picture you can find off the wall and head for the exit door. A cop stops you and asks you why the hell you're walking away with the painting.
"Artists should be happy that people look at their drawings, get their message. They aren't living in slums."
That is extremely selfish of the consumer, or in this case, pirate. These people make a living off of what they do, and it's not justifying to say they don't deserve what they get for doing what they do. I recognize these facts, yet I still pirate everything I can. why? because the technology is out there. I'd like to see more open source programs out there. There are a lot of people willing to make programs for the public, it just doesn't get done since most people settle for paying wads of cash for software.
