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.

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.

That’s why I am against indiscriminately pirating all digital goods. Because it’s morally wrong to have people work for you and than not pay them.

Naa, I'd just pirate it.

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.
