Does this only relate to things you put into their cloud, or does Photoshop now upload your offline files to Adobe servers as well? By the way, it's always morally correct to pirate Adobe software for personal use. Which also allows you to fully firewall it because it no longer needs to talk to the activation server.

It's only for people nutty enough to use their cloud services like Behance. And I agree with your second point.

  Where do you see that? I don't see that when I read it.

  On the contrary, it is for any images created with their software, whether you store those images in their cloud or at your own computer.

By pirating, you mean running modified binaries from unknown sources? Morals aside, how is that safe, secure, or even convenient?

  I'll take my chances. Adobe have proven they want to spy on me 100% of the time and shake me down for as much cash as possible. Pirates ostensibly have to compete on the quality of the product they offer.

  I've been doing it all my life. I've literally never paid for a software license, I don't know any better. In general, I usually download from reputable sources. Haven't had any problems so far.

        If a tree falls in the forest and kills someone but no one around to be sad, did they really die?

  I agree with you, but on a practical level, private trackers are moderated, and so, reasonably safe and secure. Convenience is case by case. Often, the official stuff puts up such a fuss that the pirated copy is more convenient to use.

  No, from known sources.

Also, Google hides results from torrent sites, so yeah, it's kind of an underground club. If you're a newbie you're going to get ransomware, if you know the basics it's trivial. Piracy isn't as popular as 10 years ago, but it's still there, mostly powered by poor countries.

I strongly disagree with it being morally correct to pirate Adobe. You still help grow their near monopoly. Alternatives, both paid and free, lost growth. Your professional choice will still be Adobe, because that's where you spent your training effort. I'm pretty sure Adobe prefers you pirating over leaving.
