Yes. Warez=Evil. Evil=Something I don't do. ;D Atleast someone is a decent person still. Not really...you're missing the point here. With a price like that, photoshop really isn't THAT useful to me. Even if there was no warez, I still wouldn't buy it. Therefore, it's not hurting the industry, because I wouldn't buy it either way. While you may call that "indecent", the fact is...all I would ever use it for is for sigs and some artwork, but seeing as I think I'm an awful artist, I could really live without it. If you notive, the only people here that bought it actually have uses for it besides "entertainment".

Only because your parents bought it. Besides, what number is it?

well then if someone ELSE bought it, than YOU DIDN'T therefore, you're not disproving my argument in any way. And to check which number it is, just look at the program name, is it Photoshop 3, photoshop 6, etc.

I think it came with my digital camera though... ...I doubt that. I think you have it confused with another program.

By the same logic I could steal a Mercedes, but since I wouldn't buy it ever that makes it okay.

Not necessarily, Mercedes have huge inventories so they may not sell it ;D. The way software licensing works it is no different. The copy of Photoshop you have is worth those several hundred dollars just the same as that Mercedes I steal is worth tens of thousands. It is stealing either way you look at it.
Also, I believe it was you who, along with me, condemned many people for their piracy. What you are talking about is no different. Explain yourself or look like a hypocrite.

I don't need to explain myself, I already have. With emulators, it keeps you from wanting to buy the game. With photoshop, it stops nothing, because I wouldn't have bought it anyway. I've already explained myself sufficiently, it's YOU, Zynx who is looking for an argument.

...i felt obliged to reply to that comment...SNK
if emulators supposedly stops you from buying games...
couldn't you also say that..."i didn't want to buy it anyways"...and still have it as your favorite and prized game...and play it all the time?
in the same way you can DL an illegitimate copy of Photoshop and claim that "i didn't want to buy it anyways"...and yet still use it for its convenience and for your own benefits?
