Question

Apologizing for using pirated copies

I want to apologize to Adobe for using pirated copies of their software. I don't use it anymore since 2022 at least, but I have been using it for 3 or 4 years (from 2019 I think). If there is some way, I would like to compensate it. But if I can not, I sincerely hope that my apology would be accepted (and if Adobe see this, please let me know if you accepted it or want compensation for it!). I'm from country where Adobe is not available anymore, so I also can't get Adobe software now. Thank you in advance for your answer!

    Confession is good for the soul.  If you're seeking absolution, seek out a religious advisor.

    Going forward, do good works. Donate your time & money to worthy charitable causes.

    in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

    p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

    you should report the website(s) that contributed to the piracy.  https://helpx.adobe.com/security/alertus.html?linkId=100000340440289

    I don't remember where I've got these copies exactly, just that there are (or were) bunch of videos on YouTube how to find them. I deleted everything long time ago, should I still report there? Or is it only if you remember or know exactly where you've obtained copies?

    if you know how you got them and can repeat the steps and still see aids to piracy, report it.
