thing is, if a pro is entitled to play in the main event, then he is perfectly entitled to try and qualify through a satellite. This is just good use of their "edge" - gaining cheaper entry is +EV, an that"s what poker is all about.

I dont rly see the problem with this, poker is all about being shrewd and the shrewdest players are the professionals so why cant they be greedy and make a little money by not having to pay a full buyin?
Didn"t he got robbed as well? AND he didn"t satellite this seat... his life must soo crap at the moment!

This is standard. Pretty much all the pros satellite in to the big tournaments. I used to do live updates for a major tour and we were given the list of online qualifiers to follow, and you"d see some very big UK poker names on there, people that have made WSOP Final Tables, for example.
Tournament Pros who don"t have sponsorship deals have to do it this way, otherwise it wouldn"t be profitable for them unless they FT"d every event they played.
However, nothing compares to satellites for the WSOP and major events on Stars and Tilt, where repeat winners can take the cash, as there are specific satellite pros who win ridiculous amounts of money - one player won 100 seats on Stars for the WSOP one year...and he was aged 19, so had to take the cash for ALL of them.
