It's a trade off. I did the dongle work for the Russian version of PageMaker back in the day. Adding a dongle adds substantially to the manufacturing costs because each dongle has to be set and each copy of the software has to be modded to match the key in the dongle.

Above and beyond that, your argument is still that you're not hurting the victim that much and the victim isn't bleeding much. Call Adobe and ask if they'd like for you to pay for your copy.
