away their product.. or their profits. There is a difference between profits and illegally protected profits. Do you think a billion dollar company like Adobe plays by the rules. They buy the rules.

auto... My wife would like a big diamond ring that I can't afford.. I'll steal it... theft My son wants a PS2 but they cost too much.. I'll steal one for him... theft.. A guy in Maryland wants a copy of PhotoShop because he can't pay for it... I'll give him a copy... copyright violation... another form of theft. Quit whining and save for it like the rest of us. I didn't like forking over the money any more than you but unless Adobe is paid the product will never get better. There are tools and there are Great Tools.. you generally get what you pay for. The last time I looked our economy was _base_d on capitalism. So, suppose you get your free copy of PhotoShop and develop some incredible artwork that could be sold... do you want to make money from your efforts? Or.. should we assume that you would be willing to let everyone on the planet rip you off? I think not. Judging from your logic I assume you are in your late teens to mid-twenties but regardless of your real age it's time to grow up and live in the real world. There are no free rides. Jim

First off, John Denver won't be charging ANYONE (he's dead). Secondly, it's the record producers who set the prices. Thirdly, they CAN charge 500 bucks a pop if they wanted to, but they don't. Know why? because nobody would buy it! Adobe charges only what the market will bear, and there are many, many consumers (from personal/solo professionals to full on corporations) who are more than happy and willing to fork over what Adobe is asking for it. THAT is capitalism, my friend.

actually, I see a lot of 'previous' version software going for incredible discounts. PS5 sells for around 150-300, and version 4 even cheaper. Again, capitalism at work. Why would anyone charge nearly full price when for the same price for an older version, when a consumer can get the newest version?

There is no point in responding to the petty thieves who try to rationalise their theft of software. I'm not sure Damian is a petty thief, which is why I responded. He sounds more like a young man that doesn't understand why you must pay for something. He also seems to be a bit confused as to why any company has a right to charge whatever they wish for a product. If that is the case, and any of us can make him understand that stealing the software will hurt all consumers, then the purpose of the response and this NG will have been served well. Jim
