Will Adobe Forgive me?

[এস এমআ25696755]

Hello! I am an Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator Cs6 Crack version user. I live in Bangladesh. Last two years I am using a crack version of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator Cs6. Recently I knew that that was Haram (not permissible in Islam) to using pirated software. I have no ability to pay Adobe. Now, I m trying to leave adobe. Now I want to forgive with Adobe company for using their software for the last two/three years with pirated/crack versions. I hope they forgive me. Will Adobe forgive me? (Sorry for my bad English)

I would not try to speak for Adobe on this matter. I am only interested in what you mean by "leave Adobe". Do you mean you have found another software program to replace Photoshop and Illustrator? If so, do you find it is affordable to use it legally?

I realize Adobe software can seem expensive for a freelance artist, especially when freelance hourly rates are artifically reduced by other artists who choose, or feel compelled to use illegal software. It is a visious cycle.

In a perfect world the cost of production would be factored in to the cost of the finished product. I feel this starts with the individual and you are right to consider another software that provides a more sustainable business model.

@CarlosCanto  Hi Dear Adobe team, I admit that I made the same mistake in the past of " using a cracked version of some Adobe software''. now I am uncomfortable with what I did. does Adobe also forgive me? does this forgiveness include me? Of course, from now on I decide to pay for an official subscription. I appreciate your response Dear.
