    you can legally download all adobe products (from adobe.com) and use them for 30days and you can legally use whatever you create with that software during that 30day period.

    here's a link for the after effects free trial:  http://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects.html

    yes, it's illegal to download pirated software it even if you don't ever use it. 

    i believe that's the same as stealing someone's car, parking it in your garage and never driving it.  you're still in possession of stolen property.

    the bottomline, if something is stolen, it's illegal.  it doesn't matter whether you stole it from someone that doesn't even need it and hardly notices that it's been stolen.

    you can legally download all adobe products (from adobe.com) and use them for 30days and you can legally use whatever you create with that software during that 30day period.
