60% of Photoshop Users are PIRATES!

Brian Auer: "So here it is… the one week results from our previous poll on software piracy. In that short time, we’ve had nearly 500 photographers cast their votes and the outcome is quite interesting. It looks like Adobe’s high-end photo editing software packages (like Photoshop and Lightroom) are hot items in the pirated software market."

That would be me ,one of the 60 percents . If they made that great program affordable more people would pay for it . I find myself feeling guilty for the riches I pirate so always give copies of software to friends and I support my neighborhood Torrent sites with small donations .

Nothing in life is free .

Buy US$649

You can buy a new tv or a used car at that price. heck...You can buy a new computer at CHEAPER than that by a few hundred dollars. They're greedy or nuts.

Don't get me wrong Photoshop is a stellar program but I would never pay $649 for any software.

fucking thank you, that price is outrageous

and they expect college students to pay that much for one measly design program? maybe if they charged around $100 per adobe program ...
