If you're honest with yourself, no, I don't see the vicious cycle.
Actually, I'm not so sure I know what you're referring to?
I've got tonnes of fonts I've not paid for, but if I end up using them in a billable project, I charge the client and get legit copies - mostly because they'll ask for it for internal use anyway, at which point my morals kick in for sure, if they hadn't already.
I only really use the few fonts I've paid for with any regularity, though I guess I am a bit naughty and use unpaid-for fonts for personal stuff (which is never likely to see the light of day anyway).
I view this the same way as I do music (except more so, because of the corporate angle) - I download shitloads of free stuff. Anything I actually like or use profitably, I then go out and buy. I know it's not 'right', but I'm a fairly honest guy, so I can live with myself.
