Could using a pirated copy of Adobe Illustrator put an Adobe Stock contributor account at risk?

Question

I have a question about the software used to create Adobe Stock content.

If a contributor creates completely original artwork using an unlicensed or pirated copy of Adobe Illustrator, could this affect their Adobe Stock contributor account?

For example, if the artwork itself is original and does not contain any copyrighted or third-party material, could Adobe still take action against the contributor account because the software used to create the artwork was not properly licensed?

Could this result in content removal, account suspension, account termination, or other restrictions?

I would appreciate clarification on whether Adobe Stock contributors are required to use properly licensed software when creating and submitting content, and what the potential account risks are if they do not.

Apart from the legal & personal risks of using pirated & potentially malware-infected products, this could get you permanently banned by Adobe, Inc. Be very mindful of what you post online and in public web forums. The Internet never forgets. 😯
