    It’s far more ethical to make the company lose money

    Minimum amount for photoshop is 22$/month

    Pirate photoshop

    Delete it

    Pirate again

    Repeat 30 times

    Adobe looses 660$

    If everyone does this adobe will loose so much

      They don’t care as they have a massive profit margin. What matters more is the market share. You got to break the standard way of thinking industry wide.

      That’s not at all how piracy works. They don’t lose any money by me not buying their product, the money was never theirs to lose. They can earn money if I buy it, but if I don’t, then nothing changed. It’s not like every company is entitled to my money.

      Pirating or using Gimp or Krita instead, has the exact same effect on them, ie me not buying their product.
