The only case where I can think of an example of this might be Photoshop or design software. I think many-a cash-strapped-highschooler pirates Photoshop, then picks up some good design skills, and in turn forces his/her professional workplace to pick up a copy of Photoshop. Hardly a data "smoking gun," and obviously software is different than media, but potentially food for thought.
