I will admit to "pirating" things that I subsequently went out and bought 
because I liked them.  Usually it was a fairly expensive (i.e. $100+) package 
that I was unwilling to shell out for unless I could know it would be useful to 
me.  For $29 I'll take a shot though.

Microsoft has actually gotten a huge amount of my business this way.  Legit 
MASM 6.11, VC1.52, VC4, VC5, Word 95, NT3.51WS packages are visible in the 
immediate area right now.  Every one of these was a "try-then-buy" situation.
