If a vendor says that you bought something in the big print, then claims that you acutally paid for a revokable license in the small print, then I (personally) don't have much of a problem with someone pirating a copy to maintain access for what they paid for. After all, they convinced someone to pay for something through misrepresentation. That said, even with that qualification, I doubt the law would agree with that position. That said, the author should have the right to decide the terms of sale (at least for luxury items) as long as they aren't misrepresenting the sale. If the button says something to the effect of "Buy Revokable License Now!", or something equally clear, instead of "Buy Now!" then the customer knows what they are getting into. They can either choose to pay for it, knowing they may lose access in the future, or they may choose not to pay for it since they view the terms as unacceptable.
