Of course, piracy is a problem, but on the other hand it can also have good
side effects: Just think about students who use pirated software that they
would never afford to buy. Five years later, when their boss asks them
"which software do you need ?", what will they choose ? A "badly protected"
product they have been using for years, or an overprotected software they
have never been able to try ?

Well, good for the big venders but bad for <cheaper but sufficient competing product vendor>. It would be easier to make some money with smaller apps, if the big suites wouldn't be pirated with the "I couldn't have paid for it anyway" attitude.
