I dislike adobe as a company, but I’ve worked in
IT and sales, and stealing software from the internet is the same as all other theft: damaging to companies and ultimately to other customers. And if that argument doesn’t help: you can actually go to jail for theft.
No its not at all. There have been some really good posts about it here even. Personally, I’m currently using non pirated software professionally that I obtained initially through piracy and achieved mastery of. No way I ever could have afforded it, but now I’m indirectly promoting use through my work and am a customer.
For better arguments read Breakey or Krukowski.
If you are new here keep an open mind, there’s a lot to learn and some pretty smart cats here to teach (and I’m not claiming to be one of them).
