Somewhat why Adobe didn't care if you pirated Photoshop. If you weren't making money with it, they'd rather you know it than something else (maybe gimp?). Having mindshare (uggh, I hate that word) definitely helps when it comes time to get the credit card out for tools you'll need for a paying project.
