Exactly.
I always thought that part of Adobes dominance in this market was to allow some piracy of their product because that's how teenagers learned how to use it.
Adobe then made their money from actual business users who MAKE money from the tools and therefor must have legit licenses. And those businesses use Adobe because their workforce learned it already, and it became the defacto-standard because of that.

I (allegedly) pirated Dreamweaver (haha), Flash and Photoshop when I was still learning because I was broke (unless you count £10 a month pocket money as steady income...) After spending a lot of time with those tools, I eventually purchased CS3 and have upgraded to both CS4 and CS6 since then. Not to mention the various licenses I've had to buy for employment.
