Hey, if you wanna get sued, then go ahead. To be honest, I'd rather pay $100 for the program, not pay $1000 in court. Be smart kids. Dont break the frickin law.

I am gonna have to agree. My parents won't even pay for me if I get a McFlurry at McDonalds (not that I'd eat one, I hate them) but it's the principal.


I'm with Christopher. After all, what happened to sharing is caring? :P

Have you tried downloading a trial for Photoshop? I believe it comes with Image Ready. Although, I'm not sure if you can save files in the trial. I downloaded one a few years ago and you couldn't. It's worth a try, though.

That's until you do get caught.

Back on topic, as Robot says you can download a free trial version of Photoshop for 30 days. I want too but my computer doesn't have enough space.

I have adobe photoshop elements, it came with my wacom tablet. I would have to have someone tell me step-by-step though, I don't get that layer stuff really...*feels stupid*

And if I set my calender back, I would have to set it back like 3 years.

I don't get layers all that much anyway. My first time with them was when I made my Faye set for PPTTG.

3 years?! *faints*

Erm... Excuse me for intruding, but I can't afford a $100 program. Let alone $500 for Flash, which I would kill for and already know how to use. I worked my butt off for months to get a copy of Photoshop Elements, which only costs $60. Please, next time you make a comment like that, could you maybe try to be a bit more sensitive to those of us on a limited budget?

I doubt you'll be sued if you got caught, you'll probably just be fined. You're not distributing copies of their software, so I doubt they'll be so harsh. I aslo doubt that the reason why softwares are so expensive is beause a few kids didn't feel like getting full versions. They are expensive because they know plenty of people are willing to fork over the cash. Big companies and schools need it and will pay it.

$100 (US currency) is a lot for most people, especially kids. Not being able to afford it is not pathetic, it's understandable.

And that's only in US Dollars, imagine what us Canadians and other countries have to pay for a program like that.

The second topic I have had to lock today for discussing illegal net activities. The mind boggles.

I would advise those of you flaunting your breaking of the law to keep your bragging off of these boards. While I will not judge you personally, I will look unkindly on anybody so unthinking that they would risk jeopardising these forums.

Please dont let me see anything like this again.
