Just use a pirated copy of the software you own. There are plenty of versions out there that don't require any activation, and for the most part, just work. As long as you own a legal copy, I can't see owning a cracked one as being illegal. Definitely not unethical.
- bborud 6y agoIt would actually be interesting to have this tried in court.
- Moru 6y agoIn Sweden it's totally OK to fix a program you own so you can use it, no matter what the license says. This includes disassemly if necessary.
- otterley 6y agoAttorney here! (Not legal advice.) You are wrong. Software is generally licensed, not sold. The only person who "owns" Photoshop etc. is Adobe. The rest of us get mere licenses that we are subject to the terms of. Violate the terms, and you're subject to civil and potentially criminal penalties.
