You make it sound like people who pirate software are trying to hurt creators.
They're not. The means to acquire the software are just too great. If you give people a way to express their gratitude in other ways--they might (they also might not. heck they probably won't. but I'd also expect it to be non-zero).

I'm claiming selfishness. > The means to acquire the software are just too great. It doesn't matter. If you didn't make X, and the person who did make X doesn't give you any right to X... you don't have any right to X. They made it. By virtue of actually creating the thing, they morally have all of the rights to decide who should have access to it. If they haven't given you access to it, what right do you have to claim over it?
