Back in the days when I couldn't afford proprietary software and didn't use Linux yet, I often downloaded torrents even for free software because the download was 20 times faster and you didn't have to fill out web forms and give away one of your throw-away email addresses to get the content. The crackers also often fixed bugs the developers refused to fix and removed annoying nag screens.
To be honest, when I had to upgrade my Windows machine last year, I really regretted the fact that I've gone fully legit with VST plugins. It took me more than a week to deregister and reregister all the horrible proprietary DRM schemes those companies are using. That would have taken less than a day if I had used cracked versions.
