I think what you mean is cracked software or software that you have
to pay for. The difference is that you get technical support and upgrades
with paid software. You do not have those advantages with cracked
software. Also, nowadays, most cracked software comes with a little
"surprise" - like a virus, trojan, or even a keylogger that steals your
passwords, etc.
It's not as much fun as it used to be . . . I should know

Lots of them don't work good. You end up spending an hour or two trying to learn it and finally figure out that essential features are disabled or don't work properly because they hadn't figured out how to crack that particular part of the software.
If they work for you, great. If they don't though, just remember you would probably have a better experience using the real thing.

This, and also, some features might not work correctly, or completely in cracked software. Like in a cracked version of SENuke, Indexer and spinner don't work among other dope features.

You can pump your chest and it feels great when you buy a software that meet your requirements. Your money goes for future development of software. Cracked software involves risk of trojan, virus, keylogger etc being installed on your computer without your knowledge. Using pirated software is illegal and if caught you will get alot of time in prison to wonder why you used it at first place.

All the points are good except the prison time comment. Nobody is going to spend time in prison for downloading and using cracked software at least not in the USA.
Now if you crack software and distribute it then they might slap you with a short time in the joint but even that is very unlikely.
When it comes to IM software some of the developers create their own issues and cause hackers to come after their products. Developers that tie all their software to their own credential servers is one such case. Their server goes down and thousands of people can't use software they PAID for. I've been waiting since Sunday evening to get a license I have owned for 2 years activated for software I paid for and so far it still doesn't work! It's this type of poor service that encourages people to crack or hack code.
Consider commercial software from the big companies and they don't do any of this nonsense. You buy it and can install it on at least a couple machines and work simultaneously. IM software developers are so scared someone will steal their work they create all sorts of inconveniences to the people that pay them.
I own thousands of dollars worth of IM software and it's almost a constant battle trying to keep everything running and I've paid for every piece of software I run. These credential servers are up and down all the time and if you're unlucky enough to catch a virus or have a computer hardware failure and you'll find yourself begging to developers to make software you paid for work again.
Just my 2 cents.
