And that's enough said on that topic from both sides.  I will drop
with prejudice anymore posts on whether obtaining virus updates
after you've expired is morally/legally right.

Lack of authentication is not a justification for stealing.  If your
contract with Symantec says that you need to pay for the  updates and you
are not, you are stealing.  Just because the newstand across the street
doesn't have a security guard it doesn't follow that the newspapers are
free.
