The dealing with piracy part is brilliant: "when I come across a forum post where somebody is asking for a cracked version of Pinegrow, I reply that whoever needs a license but can’t afford it should contact us and we’ll help them out."

That's turning a negative situation into a positive, which is what a good entrepreneur does.

Agree - that's amazing. Never thought of it.

But back in high school when I was copying software a lot, I actually did not have any money. I'd have jumped on the opportunity to get a legal copy free, and I'd have promoted the shit out of it.

This is the way to do it, for sure.
