"just unregistered shareware"
 ^^^^
So, "unregistered shareware" isn't piracy, huh?  It's attitudes like this that
that cause "commercial" packages to put anti-piracy code into their games that
cause you the irritation of constantly looking up keywords in the documents.

It's attitudes like these that cause me, "just" a shareware author, irritation
at pirates like you.  "Unregistered shareware", when used beyond the test
period, IS PIRACY.
