The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

Yes I am. And the two companies I worked for both were small, offered their products for cheap and still had people pirating the modules or circumvent licensing terms. It’s a legit problem that a lot of people don’t see why they should pay for software simply because it’s sometimes easy to steal it.
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?
So either way I’m not paying for it. In that case pirating is not a lost sale.
Naa, I’d just pirate it. Fuck the rent-seekers.
Are you against employees getting good wages?
