Is it permissible to benefit from programs that offer paid features for free, knowing that these websites do not take the original program owner's permission?

If application owners do not permit the use of certain features except by paying money, then their condition must be adhered to. It is not permissible to use these features for free from other websites unless with the permission of the original application owners, because these websites are considered to be in the position of usurpers. And whoever takes from a usurper or a thief, knowing of their transgression against the rights of others, is like them.
