    When Photoshop first came out, it wasn't really better than Paint Shop Pro - actually it wasn't a "web graphics creator", it was a Photo editor and sold as one.

    Photoshop was later pirated... mostly by Graphic Designers, Design Companies and Web Developers - which turned around and purchased it, after it was made better.

    Anyone else, didn't care to learn how to use it, so they weren't a factor either way.
    hindsight is another matter though eh, in hindsight, adobe realizes that their early product was easy to pirate and pass around the office. but that certainly does not mean it was planned or strategy or condoned. it simply means that at that time there was much to learn about combating it.

    adobe wouldn't of incorporated all the anti-piracy code the product has and it also would not of introduced products such as ps elements and educational versions if it were actively marketing/advocating its product via piracy.

        "Bars often let you try a Drink first before you buy it... I have many friends let me try what they have before I buy it."

        Are we talking about your friends or the bar? I have NEVER had a bar tell me I could try the drink first unless they were doing a promotion of some sort.
        Really? You can ask for a sample at almost any bar or pub.

        Well, I don't believe you haven't ever downloaded software, music, watched a tube stream, watched a music video, checked something on spike or some network like that which is all pirated...

        ... it's just complete bullshit - and nobody is going to believe you.

        Since you like to generalize about people though....Some of the people that you and I "sip drinks with" also snort cocaine. By your miserably flawed logic that means you and I do as well...Which, you most likely do however I never have. Never felt the need to steal any so I could try it either.
        The point was you lost respect for me because you think trying things is stealing, when your "FRIENDS" that you hang out with from show to show - are far worse than anything I have done when 'testing' software....

            Please mix me a Long Island so I can try it before I buy it. Right.

            I lost respect for you because you called me a thief and a liar, not because you are those things yourself.

            Name ONE "friend" of mine who steals. I'm waiting........

            Not that I will believe you as you've already lied in this thread at least once.

              They give a shot worth of beer or a bottle (shot of) on he shelf.. if you want to try a LI, ask your friend to try his.

              You called me a thief first big boy... once you stepped over the line, it was fair game.

              You have the same friends I do, we have sat next to them - next to each other. Just pick one.

                My friends don't drink LI's. Maybe I should steal one from the table next to us?

                You stepped over the line and called everybody a thief. Then you admitted to being one yourself. Now you want to try to justify calling me one by saying I said it first?

                WTF man? Are you 7 or what?

                Seriously...STFU.

                  Indeed, piracy effectively costs the porn, movie, software, game industry hundreds of millions; but nevermind that, lets try to argue the positive about it giving a little free exposure.

                    Sure you could ask the hot girls next to you. Maybe if you tip well, the bartender will give you a free one? That happens too...

                    I didn't call everyone a thief, I said "100% of us in this thread have used stolen software" - I don't think it's stealing unless you keep it, use it, and never pay for it - then you stole it. I can't say who did that, so I didn't call anyone a thief.

                    However you did get all butt hurt about it, and called me a thief.. and I simply went with it, cause if I am a thief, you're a liar.

                      OK

                      What has Nikki Licks ever stolen?

                      What has Brad Mitchell ever stolen?

                      What has StuartD ever stolen?

                      What has Deej ever stolen?

                      I can go on and on but I see no need as you have no fucking clue WTF you are talking about. If you grow up in the ghetto surrounded by thieves then you are likely to become one yourself. That doesn't mean you WILL become one as people are given free will and some of us...not you...make the better choice.

                        Wow. Really? This is how you want to twist things?

                        If you stole it, copied it, downloaded it...If you didn't pay for it and it wasn't meant to be free from the company who made it then YOU FUCKING STOLE IT. Doesn't matter if you stole it for 23 seconds or 2 years.

                        I've known you for a number of years now and I never knew you were this kind of piece of shit. Not only to steal things but to actually try to justify it in any way you can. Thank you for showing your true colors.

                          What irked the fuck outta me, is you buy font discs at the store for $20 and then you go online and all the fonts are free. They just rip the discs and upload em no diff than torrents free progs etc...

                          Fonts are the one thing people just seem to think have no copyright LOL ;)))))

                            I have some fonts here that I've paid hundreds of dollars for.
                            I make absolutely certain they never slip out to the Internet.

                            I have some software that cost me $4k for a single application. That one has a hardware key, so it can't be pirated. Some I have with other measures (not a hardware key) that run a few thou for a single app. I wonder why those guys never let their software hit the pirate sites for some of that free marketing.

                              Oh, I know you on the level homie. Its most people in this thread I bet have hundreds/thousands of fonts, and I doubt they spent the bucks for them - they got them from a "free font" site. Designers do pay for them, but others? Very rare, if ever.

                                So again, you have "NEVER" downloaded anything that wasn't yours? never watched an online movie, never watched a music video on youtube, never downloaded an mp3, and as pointed out above, you have always paid for your fonts?

                                BULLLLLLLL FUCKKKKING SHIT!

                                Again... I did pay for some, others I deleted but all did get downloaded first. Same with music, I have checked out a few songs online, then purchased what I wanted or the CD. I have found movies and cartoons that you can't rent or buy in America, watched the entire thing online, then purchased the series.

                                Nothing that I own is stolen, it's all purchased.

                                Sorry if you're confused on what things actually mean in the real world and not your made up fantasy land in your head.



                                I have said this shit on here from day one and never hid a damn thing.. my true colors are honesty... I cant' say the same about others on here.
