How about you don't use it if it is to be paid by subscription? How is it justified to go against an agreement just because you don't like it?
If something is wrong you have a moral obligation to go against it. Be it legal or not.
All hail the Grand Nagus!
That's why I am against indiscriminately pirating all digital goods. Because it's morally wrong to have people work for you and then not pay them.
Naa, I'd just pirate it. Fuck the rent-seekers.
Are you against employees getting good wages?
So either way I'm not paying for it. In that case pirating is not a lost sale.
