Yes I am. And the two companies I worked for both were small, offered their products for cheap and still had people pirating the modules or circumvent licensing terms. It’s a legit problem that a lot of people don’t see why they should pay for software simply because it’s sometimes easy to steal it.
So to be clear: was it possible to purchase and own the software? Or did users have to pay a subscription for a license? Because personally I’m getting sick of every piece of software thinking it’s appropriate to require a subscription.
You’re far away from becoming even a software tester. You are merely a little meaningless particle of sand in our software engineering society. You are the living representation of zero (0) when it comes to being employed by a good company.

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.

Naa, I'd just pirate it.

So either way I’m not paying for it. In that case pirating is not a lost sale.
