It was legal to send jews to the gas chamber in WWII Germany; that didn't make it right. It was legal to torture suspected witchs in the not so distanct past; that didn't make it right either. The legality of something has very little to do with the right or wrong of it.

I do not think Adobe is losing much money or sleep over the issue. Bill Gates on the other hand can not sleep if he thinks someone has a penny in their pocket that they did not give him.

Anyway, if my friend the Photoshop instructo is correct in his assertion that Adobe has sold about 1 in every 10 copies that are in use, (an I see no reason to doubt him), I don't see how you can argue that pirating isn't causing a problem. If they could sell half of what is in use, the price would most likely be significantly lower per unit.



Also, I suspect (though I have no studies to back this up) that some people in possession of illegal copies of Photoshop might have considered *buying* Photoshop Elements if they hadn't had the opportunity to buy the illegal copy of Photoshop.
Count me among those who say that "It's illegal" should be a good enough reason not to do it. Then there are some more good reasons as well.
