Everytime you pirate software a Unicorn dies......

But then all the magic will be gone. How will Steve make all these "magical" products.
huh? $899 is very cheap compared to the retail price of $2500. $899 is very cheap if you actually !learn! how to use all of the programs in the suite and design a business around content creation. I've known several web design students who pay the small outlay for a legit CS web premium license, who then went out and earned enough for the license, the computer, some peripherals , and some cash on the side, graduating with very tangible results under their belt. Then you have entire groups who work for, Apple, Microsoft et al where paying the $2500 (if that) for a couple of seats is a small drop in the bucket compared to the overall advertising budget, and way insignificant in comparison to the amount of revenue that will be gleaned from the exposure.
But I guess if you are a teenager making 'banners and sigs" or those obligitory "everything black and white except for a small portion of the image" compositions then I could see how something like photoshop would be too expensive
. That's why you should also pirate VMWare and a copy of Windows to run your trojaned pirated software on. Completely safe from your Mac. The performance hit will be the only price you pay....literally lol...
Joking...sort of
Sandboxing? That's always a good idea, honestly.

Yes $900 is "cheap" compared to the $2500, however in general, it's not cheap.
And no, I'm not making banners and sigs. Nor am I making money off of photoshop.
The copy of photoshop that I may or may not have, may or may not be used just for fun, or to see how it works and to see if I would actually want to have a career in a field that used it.

Exactly. Almost a semester of college for starters.
