Photoshop as used by Pirates

It is estimated that around sixty per cent of all users of Photoshop are essentially pirates, yes that’s right people have the top of the range software from Adobe are using it illegally. Although the question needs to be asked is using the software making you a pirate or is the person who allows the software to be copied a pirate?

Whatever the basics it seems to be a huge amount of people using pirated software, which is not a good sign. One because there is so much counterfeiting and fraud going that it seems highly likely that you could even pay for the software thinking that it was legal, whereas it turns out to be a copy, now that is piracy!

There are many issues surrounding this matter, the fact that there are copies out there in the first place, and good ones too! But also the fact the money is going to crime gangs and even worse. But at the end of the day the customers is the one who loses out, all of the time.
