Compensating for piracy

[GTS0407]

I am from a third-world country, and I have been using unauthorized copies of Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop to earn for myself. However, upon realizing that such practice of mine is forbidden according to my religious convictions, I have decided to discontinue using them and am willing to compensate for it, be it financially.

I also hope Adobe will accept my apology for years of breaching their intellectual rights. I'd like to confront Adobe regarding it if necessary and possible, and would be grateful if I am made aware how to.

Besides, I intend to get the official versions as soon as I can

Thank you for letting us know that you have chosen to do the right thing. While you are waiting to get legal versions from Adobe, you might use a search engine to look for free alternatives.

Thanks for the reply.

As silly as it may sound to some, I'll probably remain anguished until I am assured that Adobe perceives my act as condonable, and if not, then I am allowed to know of an amount that Adobe may demand as compensation. Any suggestions in this regard?

if you purchased from as website, you should report it,  https://helpx.adobe.com/security/alertus.html

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.

Adobe won't do that.

One thing you might do is to tally up the amount you stole from Adobe by using pirated software and donate it to a worthwhile charity.

[GTS0407]

Thank you.

I had been using Adobe CS6 crack for two years and earned by working with them. Does my compensation also include the amount I have earned? Is there any way to pay this amount directly to Adobe? 

It would be great if I could somehow have a response from a representative from Adobe

the biggest favor you can do for adobe is to report the supplier of thr pirated software.
