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 !

I believe most of the people also know using software without buying is stealing. Yes it is stealing certainly stealing

Another worst thing is think a web site designer who buys adobe products to design web sites. He will pay 900 Egypt pound. And If he works on a web site? If he really wants to make a nice web site he will spend almost one month on it. And he only will get 500 Egypt Pound or less. He will pay 900 hundred for software and he will earn 500.

I suggest people to use free open source alternates. Less people who knows how to use adobe software is better for poor countries....

Build a wall around USA. And leave happily by yourself.....

I earn 50 USD in USA in half day and it was the worst job you ever imagine. And I earn the money for whole package of adobe software.

In Egypt you have to work for 20 days.

I sympathize with the plight of less fortunate nations, but it's up to Adobe Management to decide. We are volunteer users and that is not in our control.

Photoshop Family Customer Community might be the better place. It's for customer feedback.

I rewrite it.....

People ask why Egyptians not buy adobe products instead they use it with crack. And some of the people speak about them like if they are stealers.

he cheapest package all software cost 52 us dollar at the moment I write this post. So do you know how much cost it to a Egyptian.

It cost more than 900 hundred Egypt Pound. Monthly average income is about 1200 Egypt Pound. And this is not enough to carry on their life.

So ask yourself why 1 USD is equal to 18 Egypt Pound.

Learn the story about how this happened......

And explain one country there is no natural disasters or anything. Nothing happened to this country.....With one word Trumps word they money loose it's value almost 50% in a few days. Is this stealing ? If you are not against it ? If you don't protest it you don't have the right to say anything. Don't give countries like Egypt access to your websites.

Sell your products for 52 USD in USA, Sell your products in Egypt for 52 Egypt Pound even less because the worst job make you earn at least 3000 USD in USA but in Egypt it is only 1200 Egypt Pound. So if you sell it for 20 Egypt Pound I believe that will not use your products with crack. And even 20 Egypt Pound is too much. But most of the people also use cracked software in USA I recently read a report in BSA | The Software Alliance

Determine the product prices according to countries income.

Does any reason make users knowingly using cracked Photoshop version not stealers? They knowingly do it. An average person does not need or use Photoshop. Is an average Egyptians a stealer I would not think so.  A ten or a thousand stealing is stealing.

you can get CS2 for free legally I believe, sounds like you feel a bit guilty about it, maybe when your business takes off you can start paying back.

No, that's not correct. You cannot get CS2 for free. Details in this thread: Adobe Photoshop CS2

If you want to use a software application freely find software that comes with license other than proprietary. Use, GIMP instead maybe.

You should be hesitant be positive you want to do that before doing it. Is being dishonest in Egypt the norm?  Are there no laws in Egypt? You live there I do not.  You will get no help from Adobe for that business I'm quite sure. In fact Adobe may find your participation with that business is not in their best interest and now you can not even state you did no know the business was using stolen  Adobe applications. Student did you not learn anything?

Off course there is a law in Egypt don't get so serious he just a kid don't know what he doing. The way tech company deliver it's product is not really good in any way alot of fractured to be used for something like that.

My experience, cracks also cause Photoshop to malfunction. Missing 3D functions for example and then those who use it have the nerve to ask the forums for help.

If anyone here sees that the programming libraries are tampered, that should end any attempt at help.

It's like someone asks a store to fix a phone they carry and they see that a third party tampered with it. That store is not going to troubleshoot someone elses' unauthorized fixes.

In case you don't know virtually every known crack for Adobe software contains malware. The days of some enthusiastic hacker breaking into software just to prove it can be done are well and truly over. Today cracks ,hacks and keygens are produced to make money and the creators rely on that human weakness 'Greed'- wanting something for nothing.

The trouble is the crack will be doing something behind the scenes. With Adobe cracks the most popular past time is cryptocurrency mining , which although harmless as it doesn't steal data, redirects the resources of the computer to increase the size of the hackers bitcoin wallet. Because nothing is being stolen or changed anti-virus software does not flag these cracks as dangerous. This is why the most ubiquitous of the cracks passes your AV. I'm told that some hackers make $80,000 a year doing this with as few as 20 bots in operation.

Of course, the crack is using your internet connection heavily and if you don't have unlimited broadband this will work out expensive. The most expensive consequence is your CPU is running at near maximum while the computer is on, draining the battery on a laptop or using vast amounts of mains electricity. An infected computer uses around 5 times as much power as a normal one. This means very high electricity bills. Many people only realise something is wrong when they receive the electricity bill. In addition to all that, the computer will wear out much faster in the same way a car would if driven at 100 miles an hour all the time. So in many respects Adobe doesn't need to worry about people using cracks as they are damaging their hardware, slowing down their computer, paying more for internet and electricity and for what? -to save $10 a month. If you want to know more about malware in Adobe software look at some of the Kaspersky Labs Bulletins and you will quickly see I'm not making this up.

A pretty dumb thing to do Subhan. Adobe now know your IP address which is regional and localises you to a few square miles anywhere in the world. Your IP address also reveals your service provider and the exact time of your posting here has been recorded-All Adobe now need to do is serve a court order on your service provider for access to their server logs and they will know the name of the account holder as well as your address . I don't know if they will bother with an insignificant idiotic software thief like you but if they did you or your parents could be facing a fine and a criminal record . I doubt your parents will be happy if fined a years wages because you have been a total fool, but your family will get no sympathy from me.. Hope they get you 'bozo'
