Most people who download illegaly go buy the software/album they downloaded. If it's something like vBulletin then you download it to learn the ins and outs of it, but not using it live, I think that's okay, but I agree, if you use about 10 copies of un-licensed versions of vbulletin then you deserve to be done for it.
It's like me, I listen to an album, if I like it, I go buy it sooner or later, if I don't like it, I delete it.
