Hello people,  i just download macromedia flash professional 8 , and i would like to know if using a  serial code, is illegal or not, because i see a lot of pages with serial codes,  but im afraid that doing that is illegal and they going to sue me  or something.

Also, im planing in opening a forum in the future,  what would happen if the people there start spreading the serial code?,  adobe will  sue the forum, the user, or both?

im just  talking about macromedia flash professional 8

Thanks in advance

    Isaac14a,

    Yes it is illegal. You knew the answer before you posted. You are looking for proof. That is easy. Download the serial number install the software, send your name, email address, phone number and  home address to Adobe at piracy@adobe.com letting them know what you did. I'm sure Adobe will be willing to give you all the proof you need.

    1. This is a Flash Player forum NOT for questions about Flash Professional.

    2. What you are asking can get you banned from here and anyone who answers it banned for answering it.

    3. Software piracy is illegal. By definition it can have civil and criminal consequences. If you're going to go that route, don't post about it on a daily updated (on Google) forum.
