I think pirating can be justified in only one situation.
If you get ahold of, say, 3D studio and you _never_ would have imagined paying
the $1500+ (I think?) that the program costs I don't think ANYBODY is hurt.
Autocad didn't lose any money because you wouldn't have bought it anyway.
But if some graphics artist pirates it when he could have bought it, that is
definitely wrong.
(Don't worry, Autocad. I don't have 3Ds. I don't have the, what, mucho megs
free to even hold it.)
