Think of "shareware" as a software distribution system, not a licensing system. You're invited to keep, distribute, or evaluate copies of the program, but not to use it without paying. I really don't see why that should bother anybody. I consider the effort to download, transfer, and de-arc the program to be part of the cost. Commercial software through normal channels isn't cheap.
