Adobe Suing Forever 21 for Pirating Photoshop

[Clyne]

Maybe because they think Adobe charges too much, but that doesn't make it right though.

nah, there's a way for me to get discounts 

[SIGSEGV]

Maybe adobe could make their stuff NOT ridiculously expensive. Not saying that I pirate it though, I just use free (and sometimes better) alternatives like GIMP

[Geekazoid]

why did you change the post?

Because I only needed the part that I was replying to, that's why.

[Spannerhands]

Adobe has a generated key in every saved file, so if they look at a pdf or illustrator file etc, they know what the original serial number was that generated the file along with other details...

Adobe charges the amount they do because they expect to make nearly all of their money on companies like Forever 21, who are more than able to buy it, and not people using it at home. They expect people at home to pirate it, so people can learn how to use it and keep their user base higher than that of any other competing software. Autodesk does exactly the same thing. 

 

EDIT: Sorry if that's a little difficult to read. I'm not the most able writer.

great they are suing forever 21 since they turn nice women into w***** by selling all kinds of explict clothing 

 

edit:those who think adobe stuff is overprice nope its not..... the amount of time and effort put in by devlopers to make software's like ps etc is too damn high learn to respect devs by not pirating so that corporations make money and devs dont starve 

 

Nothing wrong about showing off what you got.

[Camul]

thats morally wrong,remember no one respects a hoe ..... 

 

What's morally wrong, a girl enjoying their body or enjoying sex? I don't see the problem with any of those things.

Right, gotcha!

No worries mate! You did good. Perfectly readable.....unless you've got your eyes closed. LOL

[Camul]

enjoying sex or enjoying their body isnt wrong when done correctly but hoeing around is f21 inspires females to dress in a slutty way 

ps: i dont give a shit since its their choice,but it leaves good guys like me single who wont do morally downgraded women 

 

You're just perpetuating a stigma that needs to go away. If you're single it's not because of the way women dress.

[cesrai]

One question, how did they find out ????

[XTankSlayerX]

Adobe can fuck off, their products are overpriced anyway.

Overpriced when you can make a living using those programs?

 

Are you high?

[The Crazed Child]

Are you high?

possibly

[Camul]

yes it is because of the way women dress,girls in my high school dont dress maturely and i dont do skank's thus i haven't asked a girl i find nice yet 

 

Actually, reading this post and your last post, the problem is entirely with you, not anyone else.

[DuckDodgers]

The garment and apparel industry is the epitome of corporate greed and labor exploitation. They make huge margins on the BOM costs and multi-level marketing schemes and have absolutely no excuse doing this petty software pirating. <_<

[Albatross]

For those wondering; yes, Forever 21 is a clothing shop/place. A very shitty, overpriced place to buy pre-ripped crap and nasty smelling perfume.

 

thats morally wrong,remember no one respects a hoe ..... 

 

I wouldn't say how she is dressed makes her a "hoe".

[Hatsune Miku 「 」]

F21 go pay back the damages..... Adobe deserves to have it paid back.

WOW! Albatross. Remind me to never get on your bad side. LOL

[Albatross]

Don't worry, I'm not mad or able to easily be angered. I am just describing their merchandise honestly.

Haha, it's alright!

If you're going to pirate Adobe software to have a play with it, and see if you can do anything interesting with it, and see if you have any talent as a digital artist... fine, I guess.

But if you're going to be using the software seriously, in a professional capacity, and making money from the use of the software, then I feel your obligation to not pirate it goes up. Also, successful companies might be an easier target for piracy lost revenue recovery, since they undoubtedly have enough money to pay for the software. ...but on the other hand, they'll have a team of lawyers to slow down Adobe's claims as much as possible.

 

As for the cost of the software... $50 (?) per month, for 2 years, with 63 "seats".... works out to be about $75000. The OP says Forever21 has revenues of $3.9 billion... not sure what I can expect their profit to be.

[Misanthrope]

Yeah Adobe, if you want to sue "legit" business that pirate your crap you'd find that maybe 70% of all mexican businesses pirated that shit AND windows and everything else altogether. Good luck litigating that here though.

[kameshss]

lol!!

[deviant88]

Overpriced or not this is retarded,id get it if a small company tries to produce some small games or edit a few photo products for their website to get on their feet and pirates the software,but a multibillion company,and its from america,definately retarded.

[cubercaleb]

If you think Photoshop is overpriced (At a mere $10 a month for both Lightroom and Photoshop) then please, make an equally comparable photo editing program and give it away for free. Please, go ahead. Btw, it much be equally powerful as Photoshop, the UI can't suck and it must be intuitive (otherwise artists will stick with PS). You can't point to GIMP because it falls flat in both of those areas. Also, don't forget yearly updates plus make sure it runs smoothly.

[NumLock21]

yeah the software will cost an arm and leg but f21 can easily buy it and earn their money back in no time.
