Simple Weird Question

Is the yearly version of Phototshop closer to a new version of the series or to an update only to the previous version.

because i want to download an old version from photoshop because i can't afford it and my friend says that It is not legal to download an old version from anywhere, so what should i do ?

and sorry for my bad english.

1. Each year or so there is a new version.

2. It is not legal to download from anywhere except Adobe

3. Adobe do not sell old software, not even for full price.

Why would Adobe sell an old version for less price, when they have a new version they worked hard on and want to sell?

If you can't afford Photoshop use something else. Don't build your future career on doing something illegal !

of course i won't build my future on something illegal but the other softwares are very complicated and we can take games like examples, if the studio that own the game removed the game from the store and stopped on working on it, i can download it from anywhere if it is craacked or from dark market.

one of ur friends replied to a question like this and said i can buy the old version from resellers for lifetime license and enjoy and he didn't say illegal !

It turns out that Adobe do not give the old versions to resellers. So, if a reseller is selling an old version, it is a fake. This means the reseller is stealing from Adobe -and- stealing from you at the same time. 

I wasn't talking about ethics or economics. You asked about what was legal.

idk, someone famous here in the community recommended this.

yep i know what u was talking about but companies should look after us and make they product reach to everyone.

adobe prices r just affordable for westernesse and they live and the rich of our economy and this not fair.

and i think u don't know anything about third world countries, if adobe knows it would make a private version with affordable price for it

and they should make a lifetime version because what they make is Monopoly and Exploitation to the market.

Adobe makes Photoshop Elements which is affordable and not subscription.
