There are so many free bulletin board solutions out there that I don't see why folks want to use a pirated vB. It doesn't seem like it would be worth the risk of having your forum shut down after accumulating a lot of members and posts.
Of course, vB is hands-down the best forum software, in my opinion, and well worth the price. Sadly, there are a lot of "webmasters" out there who think all software should be free (in their words "open source"). They use this as thin justification to pirate any and all software they can their hands on.
Call me a capitalist pig, but I believe someone who makes a worthy product deserves to be rewarded for their efforts. I certainly don't believe I'm entitled to any hardworking programmer's labors for free.
