Agreed. At least the CC Subscription price is affordable. Wonder how
long that will last?
The thing is that the people who were using pirated copies of
Photoshop, etc. were, for the most part, people who would never have
bought it if they couldn't get it free – professionals overwhelmingly
buy their software legally. So no matter how many pirated copies were
in circulation, Adobe was really losing very little revenue from
piracy.
I think the subscription model, far from being an attempt to reduce
piracy, is a result of Adobe *realizing* that ending piracy would have
very little effect on their bottom line and looking for an alternative
way to increase revenue.
I haven't forgotten their login server debacle from last year.
