It's expected that hobbyists will pirate it.
It's my understanding that people who have previously pirated it are blacklisted from every using the sw legally thereby potentially making it impossible to get a job in the industry.

Re: IDA: What's new in 7.00
#12A quick overview of what makes IDA cool for those unfamiliar with it: * It has one of the best decompilers available * It supports a ridiculous number of platforms * I trust its disassembler (especially for mainstream languages) more than almost any other disassembler * Demangling of Swift names is a nice quality of life improvement, Swift moves fast and is hard to keep up with * Still the best disassembler and machi…
Hopper supports Linux since V3 :)

#13the prices are still kinda ridiculous for hobbyists. i realize those might not be the main customers.

I heard a rumor that the cracked version calls home with your identity and blacklists you for life. Don't think it is true though. (Edit: I think what they do is they embed your key into saved files, and if a key leaks, blacklist it such that later versions cannot open them.)

What's your source on this? And what's preventing users from simply deleting the files/formatting their OS/getting a new e-mail?

I have no first hand knowledge, but it is my understanding based on what others have told me that IDA Pro is actually kind of difficult to crack and pirate. I don't know how true this is, but it makes logical sense - the developers of a reverse-engineering tool are likely far more clever at anti-piracy mitigations than your average programmer.
