Who are you to decide what is a fair compensation?

As for software theft in general:

In my opinion an ethical person is one who deals honestly with other
people. If I sell you a piece of software on the condition that you will
not make copies of it to give to other people, but you do so anyway, you
have lied to me. How can you deny that you have behaved unethically?
