Original or pirated version--which one do you use?

im not rich. if i had alot of money i would never use pirated copy.But the real is im not rich

 

Macromedia MX suite (firefox dreamweaver)
Paintshop pro
and an earlier version of photoshop

all purchased from money earned from web design, slowly over time

wish I could afford to keep up to date but they keep changing them too fast for my liking

 

I use to use PS7 pirated, but I felt bad, so I asked someone to give CS2 for christmas.... and I got it

 

Besides the possibility of this thread being locked for talking about downloading software illegally, don't think anything would happen to the people who admit to it.

With that said, when I first started learning in middle school I was pirating software. Now I buy it all legit with student discounts.

 

#1 excuse...
Too bad it isn't legit, not that I am perfect though

 

Nor am I. Buying software hurts me. That's life.

 

Photoshop, pirated. I don't use it enough to justify the price. If my life revolved around it I'd buy it though.

 

It's not up to you to decide whether or not your use justifies the price. The price is what it is. If it's too much for your intended use, use something else. The Gimp might be more in your price range.

I'm going to bow out of this thread before I start getting heated. I don't know why I got involved in the first place - I knew I would end up seeing all the same tired old excuses that thieves and bludgers use to justify their actions.

 

All legit didn't pay a cent for any. All softwares are sponsored by my university Any software that is commercially available, you ask and you get it.

PS: Didnt I tell you my tuition is $44k/yr

 

That's lucky, my university only offers discount on these softwares.

Also... $44 k?? Are you in medical school? Or?

 

Are you guys serious? Admitting piracy on a public forum???

As for me, I get my workplace to buy legit copies even if it's not entirely needed for what I do, at least I know I have a legit copy.

If you can't afford it go for cheaper of free alternatives.

 

Exactly. Anyone can report these threads to Adobe.

If a person from Adobe saw this he'd sew all of you.

 

nobody is going to sew anyone, that is a major crime
Although they may sue someone, though I doubt it

 

LMAO! That would be a funny punishment!

 

i am a pirate and i never picked a legal copy lolz

 

So many people use pirated version.The original software cost too much..

 

I'm not going to say anything because admitting to doing something illegal is not very smart you know Not saying I don't do it, not saying i do it :0

 

Umm, so you do!?! Why would you be too shy to not admit that you bought a great product! LOL

 

haha.gotcha dcgamers..

you are smart scart3r
