why do you feel justified in using what they created without any compensation? Because if I'm basing not purchasing it off of DRM, chances are I like everything else about it and still want the product. Gotta get it somehow! Although I get your point, and concede that there probably isn't a significantly justifiable reason for pirating. Luckily, I've never really had to justify things to myself in terms of right/wrong so I don't suspect my strategy will change anytime soon.
