First of all i'm NOT working in Anti-piracy Agency or Adobe. I'm conducting this survey for my personal knowledge only. Is your copy of Photoshop licensed? How many people do you know who are using unlicensed photoshop? Can you be put in bars if your using a unlicensed photoshop? how will they know if your pirated photoshop? If you don't feel answering this thread you are free not answer. thanks!
There is no unlicensed unregisted software on my computer and that includes Photoshop. I don't know anyone with unlicensed versions. Some people I know may do that but they don't tell me about since they know how I feel about the subject. I don't think jail time is a real risk but the cival penalities can be quite high if they decide your pockets are deep enough or they need to make an example out of someone. My pockets are fairly empty so I can't afford a high priced shyster. Therefore I behave myself.
I know quite a few people with unlicensed copies of Photoshop. At least five.. but who's going to admit to it on a public forum?
You don't really think people will admit to having an illegal copy of PS do you? But I have the CS4 trial....my Windows copy doesn't work on my Mac so I have downloaded the trial and will register it on Christmas (my parents are getting me PS).
