See my previous post. I was a student brokeass once too. If you are serious about your vocation, you'll either make the money to buy the tools that you want, buy tools that you can afford and make do, or bide your time until you can afford them.
If you're a design student, use the school labs where the systems are loaded with the software that you need.
Too crowded? Schedule your time so that you can be there when there are stations open.
It's called living like a responsible adult. Lots of people do it.
As far as the "piracy as advertising" rap, that's another myth that irresponsible people use to justify their behavior.
When software companies and type foundries don't mind being ripped off by students, they give their products away for free (Microsoft, for one, actually does this quite often - giving away copies of Visual Studio to cs students like candy at Halloween). When they give you steep educational discounts instead (or no discount at all), this is a signal to you that they actually want you to buy their stuff, not steal it.
