you're a student... education versions are meant for the schools not students.. you're not supposed to buy every software they teach you. just torrent it.

personally, and i think this is what the software companies secretly think too, is that allowing for a realistic amount of sharing creates a solid, experienced and knowledgable user base that will one day maybe hopefully probably buy it themselves and work for a company who does pay for it . it also ultimatly adds to the general exposure of the product by these people going to web forums and talking about it etc. Subsequently a large and loyal bunch of potential paying customers is created and that's not a bad thing.
- in other words don't think you're a criminal you didn't acutally or literally 'steal' anything to begin with.molo

i asked an adobe rep why is it so easy to steal your guys software.
he laughed and said "people who steal wouldn't pay for it in the first place. making it easy to rip-off gave us a giant market footprint which ensured our success. if we wanted too we could make it impossible to steal - but then someone else would start muscling in on our market share"
good point
