If you use the trial version and it sits idle for a few minutes it starts cracking itself and uploading itself to torrent sites and downloading and installing all other Adobe software plus cracks to your computer.

It's a design feature. Thanks

It's reasonably safe if you have common sense and use good trackers. I liked CS5, try finding a pre-cracked version if you can.

It is not completely unsafe.

@OP

You can't buy it anymore, you can just subscribe to it. Thanks.

Adobe has a policy of not chasing down shitheads who pirate for personal use.

But they'll chase you down if you try making money with it.

Will they hunt me down if I try to make money while circumventing the industry standard Photoshop and using GIMP instead?

The day still has to come when someone makes money using GIMP.

Please continue to support the software companies that I pirate so I don't have to waste my money on something I can get for free. How much do you spend annually on software?

by pirating, sure, i suppose, but i read a month or two ago that adobe was making something like the cs2 version free with no demo limit. something like that. i'm trying to find the article, but i'm at work so i might not have time to track it down. but supposedly there's a legit free older version recently made available.
