My preferred way is to pirate everything, and support after the fact, usually by buying copies to give to friends (though more than once it was just "buy the DRM version and never touch it because nothing else was easily available"). I like this because I make sure to support things I enjoy, rather than buying something and finding out it was not as good as the reviews made it out to be. It is a product of my entitlement, sure, but with the wealth of free content available, I can't justify spending money up front anymore.
