User blog comment:Saratje/PC release date explained - Skyrim: Dragonborn DLC/@comment-114.142.164.39-20130116190745

So since Hearthfire is a content pack and not downloadable content.. then its not stealing to pirate it.. because im not pirating it im trying before I buy.

Because I say its try before I buy despite the fact I may get it though the same channels someone gets pirated software.. that makes it not pirated. Much as a "Content PACK" is downloaded.. the same as "downloadable CONTENT" otherwise known as DLC.

Lets use made up logic to make our actions acceptable.
