[QUOTE="WhiteLight, post: 146170, member: 9556"] If Adobe is doing this just to stop piracy of their software, it just won't work. There isn't a program that can not be cracked & CS6 or CS7 or any other program won't be different. If they really are so intent on this, they would need to start selling machines specifically for using Adobe products, much like how Sony did with the PS3. That too, was hacked early on & most users were able to hack their systems and stay away from updating to a new firmware which disabled playing discless games. Apart from that, the pirated users form a very large base, much larger than the folks who actually buy the software. So there is a LOT of input collated based solely on the feedback of users - pirated or not. Am quite certain Adobe knows piracy exists & if they really wanted to stop, they would have gone out of their way to get that done. Piracy to SW companies is a necessary evil.. They may have other ideas in mind while implementing this... Maybe Adobe will buy Google (or Google will buy Adobe) and shut everyone else down & then go cloudy.. None of this will happen in my near future..IMHO [/QUOTE]
