Illegit software or going legit? Open source, the beginning developers godsend

I use to use a stolen copy of 5.5--however when 7 came out, I went and bought photoshop. :P

I like having my adobe registeration :P

But I'm just lucky that they happen to create what I want for free

All of my software on here is 100% legally paid for retail software. It costs a fortune to keep up to date, and probably explains why I can only afford a new PC every 5 years, but it sure as hell makes me sleep better at night Companies like Adobe & Macromedia have bundles of their software, which can make things work out much cheaper if you are purchasing things year after year and you own a number of the software titles in the bundle.

If you were to ask whether I had any downloaded TV shows on my pc, that'd be another thing altogether...

If there wasn't warez of Photoshop, we wouldn't see the 304928342 of new designers selling templates

I feel all of your pain.

I guess I like doing graphic design & all but, my first love is videography and video editing. The video industry isn't cheap! Easily 25k to get started well. The software is ridiculously overpriced so I used to pull all the free trial crap, but I finally can say not a single unlicensed product on my computer except for 1 mp3 of Kool and the Gang's "Celebration" for a wedding I was editing. They should make cheaper software.
