It's a lot of money, but if you are making a living professionally, in such a specialized profession too which can warrant charging more, you should pay for the tools you use. A plumber has the choice of buying the MegaPlumberPlus (making it up) for a high price but that makes them 10% more efficient, or weld together their Plumbathon. Doesn't matter what the cost of the MPP(tm) is, it can not justify stealing (pirating in sw) it. Not in a moral, nor legal way. For a private person doing private stuff on their own computer perhaps many would say morally this is grey, but if you live from it? Pay'em or don't use it.
