MODERATORS
Generally, if software was affordable and their business model is ethical, I wouldn't pirate it.
If a company is charging a subscription for something that has no business being a subscription, I'll pirate it. If a business is stealing data or willingly collaborating with evil people/governments/regimes/etc, I'll pirate it.
