I think Ill weigh in on this....

I dont think Waves is being unreasonable... Entrapment? LOL!!! Has Waves suddenly become a Government agency and or official? No, its business. The true definition of Entrapment comes from governmental coercive behavior. From a legal perspective, this is whats called "But-For" arguments. The fact that Waves is enforcing its copyrights is commended. The fact that people steal them, is the same thing as fencing merchandise in a pawn shop. There is no legal difference. If you were to walk into Guitar Center and walk out with thousands of dollars in Software, you would be booked for Felony counts of Burglary. The fact that the robber didn't make any money is irrelevant.
Courts have erred on the side of caution when it comes to Peer to Peer debates and theft of intellectual property, but the 2nd circuit is actually making some progress with recently one Judge in his opinion saying "The Anarchy that threatens the economical strengths of the software, music, and movie business can no longer be ignored. Instead it must be addressed and dealt with harshly."

First LET ME explain something for everyone... You DO NOT have a constitutional right of privacy. Its neither written in the constitution or guaranteed. Privacy is called Grey Line legalities that is only found in Case Law. Whereas maybe you do or maybe you dont depending on the case law you can muster up.
So, if waves wanted to install a tracking device on their software and find those who are hacking and ripping them off, they would be justified. If they want to hire people to go to studios and check on the studios software to see if they are using illegal copies they can as well. I believe that falls under trickery to get evidence and common sense of protecting your property. Kind of like a Home Security System.
Imagine if a Burglar sued a home owner for having a ADT system.
