I typed in autocad on piratesbay and could've grabbed nearly $50k worth of CAD software on the first two pages.
Historically,they are very protective of their products.

How many major commercial companies do you think would risk not owning the software. They don't exactly make programs everyone can use. Also, don't forget that their really expensive stuff cant even be run by 99% of people. My brother works at a post house and the machines that run the high end applications cost millions.
Sure, 3dsmax, combustion, autocad, maya, and the other desktop stuff can be run on normal computers, but the majority of the people who will download this won't be using it for anything commercial anyway. These aren't exactly MS Office or Warcraft.
