Money, my friend. That is the crux of the matter. An individual is seeking to profit from the work of another. That is what leaves the bitter taste in the mouth, not any attempt to attach value to obsolete software. To this end, I regard an Ebay sale of copied software with significant disgust, whereas people who copy obsolete software for no financial gain have not received money that should otherwise have gone to the author.
