I agree that it is interesting as well.

There are people who fall into this but many more who don't and use the 
samples too (maybe not all of them but some of them).  So, while I 
agree with you to a certain extent, piracy is still piracy.  We need to 
get used to the fact that copy protection is here to stay for the time 
being.  The best thing for us to do is to encourage that it not get in 
our way too much.  If we hold a valid license, that we are able to use 
the samples freely at any time without having to wait for the next 
business day while we get a new key or WHY.
