the fact that there are cracks for virtually every progam, has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that copy protection stops the vast majority of software theft. nothing.

compare the number of people who have gone to the trouble of finding and using a crack to the number of people who bought the programs. and i'm not talking about all us computer nerds around here, i'm talking -everybody-

the people who use cracks are a tiny, -tiny- minority of the vast millions of computer users.

Vanilla, what are you talking about? PSP is only 100$, not 200. If you really want it and really need it, you can find 100$.
How did you get your computer? Did you steal it? You found the money for that, didn't you?

any pothoretuching program can do the same actually. In my opionion, the better program is that can do the same as others with more easy of use. Potoshop are the best, but there's no reason to purchase this program, when there's other great programs with a fraction of their cost.
Is better to purchase a 100 $ 110 euros program, not to download a cracked version of photoshop.
Caution: Potoshop7 connects himself to adobe (as other spyware softwares), you can receive an advice of Adobe!

"compare the number of people who have gone to the trouble of finding and using a crack to the number of people who bought the programs. and i'm not talking about all us computer nerds around here, i'm talking -everybody-"

exactly. that's why it isn't hurting anything.


"Vanilla, what are you talking about? PSP is only 100$, not 200. If you really want it and really need it, you can find 100$. "

again, i don't NEED it, i just use it occasionally for fun. i could live without it.


"How did you get your computer? Did you steal it? You found the money for that, didn't you?"

actually i've had my computer for 2 years now and i have only paid off about $25.
