Add it to the list of ethical circumstances for piracy.

In fact, for the titles I cared about, I would contact the studio/publisher themselves, explain the situation, send a death cert and a steam account, and see if they would allow a transfer or grant a new key. If not...they're part of the problem.

I guarantee that you'll get crickets for 99% of those emails

Yeah, but I would say trying to contact is the right thing to do here before pirating.
