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?
Ultrakill is one such game, and its dev basically said, "If you can't afford my game, pirate it. Money shouldn't be a barrier to the arts."
