I am a student in Egypt and here one dollar equals 19 pound , so many students choose the cracked version because they can't pay for Adobe products . I thought that was wrong and it's like stealing someone's effort , but I wonder if Adobe is not fighting this may be they are not angry with these cracked versions and let students, small teams and business to work using their programs freely

For me , I used cracked Photoshop a lot for charitable and civil works and even some very small business

And today I am about to market a business for a place which provide courses for Adobe products , And of course it's all cracked so I am hesitant to accept . Please help me !

Users here could not give you an official Adobe statement of what Adobe is or is not doing> Adobe would not publish anything like that. Users here are user like you not Adobe employees. We can give you no facts. If Adobe went after dishonest students all that would happen is the student would be shown to be a thief and Adobe would not recover what it cost to prosecute the student.  What makes you think Adobe  is not trying to crack down on the crackers?  What makes student think that cracked code is safe to use what did the crackers do to Adobe's software? Perhaps Adobe has put code into products the test if the product code has been altered and if that machine connects to the web report the thief.  What code is in Adobe products for dealing with activation and motoring activation status and software state.
