Don't see how it's a major problem.
The guy has explained his situation and while it might be wrong to pirate plugins, in the end his circumstances dictate that he really has no other option besides paying absurd prices for plugs that we all probably take for granted.
That's just my opinion. Some might claim "piracy is piracy" and that's fine. TBH, pirating EZMix might not be necessary and could be considered "unethical" (though I can see perhaps pirating Superior might be different).
