Well, to the extent that you have failed to offer justification why copying 
and
distributing ANY company's overpriced software is a) stealing or b) wrong ... 
I
can safely say that you have no ground to stand on. What if I wanted to code 
software to compete with Windows... who could possibly afford the various 
programming platforms ($200+ each), Windows support packages ($100), etc? The 
inequity that invalidates anti-piracy is the same inequity that can be 
applied 
in a general social model. Either way ... THAT is what is wrong. Not copying 
software.
