Yeah seriously, $1,000 for a god damn program? If the prices weren't so ****ing high, there would be less pirating because more people would be able to afford programs.

But.. They do expect companies to buy the program.. Because companies tend to but software for commercial use..

Ahh very true sir. That slipped my mind :y: but still there are more individuals buying the program new because companies buy the program once then use it for all their computers.

I know $1000 for a program, Then there will be a newer 'Better' one soon after that.

Indeed your right, Companies do buy them for commercial use, But that price for a bit of Software ..

I just feel that adobe and companies like it would get more sales because more people would be able to buy the software thus gaining back the profits lost because of the spike in sales.

If the price is humble, and I can see myself using something often, I'll pirate it first, and then if I like it, I'll buy it to support the developer.

Otherwise I uninstall or delete it.

It's not my fault a lot of companies are unwilling to let you sample things before you buy them, and I think my process is more than justifiable. I'm not going to help you if you aren't helping me.
