Again, why do you believe this? Is it because you believe unpopular law is automatically "bad" law? ("Law" meaning either a law on YC or US copyright law)
Philosophising over whether or not art should be shared is irrelevant in a legal context. It isn't our place to philosophise - we don't have a choice. If we allow copyrighted recordings from YouTube and other sites to slip through the net, why not allow the same thing to happen with cracked software? It would be ridiculous to have someone "recommending" Finale and at the same time providing a link to an illegal copy of it.
