More equivalent argument: company A makes a product. Consumer A who would not pay the asking price for the product downloads the trial then sets their system clock back 10 years and uses that product for free for personal non-commercial enjoyment a few times over the course of a few years. They technically violated the license agreement but did not profit from their circumvention. They would not have otherwise paid the asking price, so a sale is not realistically lost.
