I understand that the solution will be always to use free( Open Source/Public Domain) stuff instead of Propietery stuff.
But in the cases where there is still not something free, is there is a list of companies which is fine with pirating their products aka don't issue DMCA request whenever they see their products getting pirated?
Wube has encouraged people to pirate their game over buying key-resellers like G2A. G2A was such a legal pain in their ass for a period that they would rather you just pirate the game (being Factorio).
