Piracy is cool, but I prefer to use community-driven software rather than ones driven by corporate profits. I prefer a model where many can contribute to it, fork it, and for which making integrations is much easier thanks to its openness.
Hell yeah
Do you donate for the efforts?
Yes
Not OP but still good.
It takes many small efforts to make a big change! :)
Not that I condone piracy, but I thought photoshop switched to a SaaS model from CS6 or so that made it unlikely to be pirated?
It’s still possible and last time I used it, it was about as easy as can be.
When I last did it, you just downloaded the regular program, installed it, then you ran a patcher and that was it. This was a couple years ago now, but Adobe already had their current business model.
Yup. The only real difference is the pricing model, the program is pretty much the same.
I rememeber they tried offering online libraries of stuff for download to justify the subscription for some products.
Yarr, ye by digging yourself a Mass Grave if you be running them Next Gen programs of the P variety.
Honestly, though, how long is that going to work for you? Windows 10 runs out of service like next year, sooner for most versions. It’s just not sustainable.
You can still pirate Windows 11 matey. And don’t forget Win 10 LTSC edition still has support until 2027.
Windows 11 LTSC was also released recently for anyone that has to use 11.
Pirating Windows for what? It works as full version even if you let it be, watermark does nothing.
'tis a mistake. Supposed to be MacOS
Or Linux 🔥

That doesn’t make it free. Somebody else is paying.
Oh, like online piracy. Got it! 🤣
Nope. If the product is finished and you make a copy, nobody else is paying.
If you go to the store (90s style) and steal a copy, that’s a whole different thing.
Go to rental place in the 90’s/2000’s
Rent things
Copy things
Return original - No harm | Return copy - ???
Netflix DVD service is missed.
When monopolies exist. How everyone didn’t care for the last 25 years is even wilder. Adobe has been controlling the design communities forever *flips water bottle
