What i don't own when I pay for, is something i don't feel bad not to pay for.
Which brings me to a funny conclusion.
Legal
Pay money - Own nothing
Warez
Pay nothing - Own warez (copy)
The fact that games are supposed to be "licenses for entertainment" is hilarious, i am not paying for the promise of entertainment. I am paying for a digital copy of a game. Once i pay for it, it is MY digital copy, and i don't care what big-money or the law says about that.
However - for MMO's its fairly obvious and logical that you don't own the game 
More like:
Legal
Pay money - own rights to license to use the software
Warez
Pay nothing - get owned by malicious crap built into the warez
Strangely enough, "Big Money" and the Law don't care that you don't care. You ARE paying for a digital copy of the game, but NOT the rights to do anything you want with it. They wouldn't need this convoluted lawyer-speak if people would just be honest and pay for what they play.
You can justify it to yourself any way you want, but there is absolutely no difference between warez and shoplifting, just as there is no difference between digital distro vs a boxed copy.
