[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 204553, member: 13090"] Hooray, Port Blocking!! What fun that'll be... Especially when the little hash that has to be verified before your install of Photoshop even starts-up... [I]Doesn't[/I] get verified and, in turn, politely pops up a little message about your software being inaccessible and how you should call this little ol' 1-800-GET-ADOBE number to speak to a Customer Service representative. That, or you can wait until it CAN connect to the Adobe Mother Ship to verify your account is paid up because, gee whiz... No one at Adobe could possibly have anticipated such a clever plan! And all that effort so you *don't* get updates *and* you have to constantly re-hack your install to stay current? Fun stuff... I'm sure there are those that will suffer this to save a few bucks but again, I'm sure Adobe sees this all as part of the cost of doing business. The problem with piracy is... It's a pain. I know because I've been there, done that. You never own software unless you yourself write it. What you have with commercial software is an individual license to use the software in agreement with the Terms of Service contract you agree to before you can install the software. You may *feel* like you own the software because you have a physical disk in your hand, but you don't. I could burn a copy of my CC installs and have a physical copy but I still wouldn't own the software; only the disk I burned it to. [/QUOTE]
