I can see why people would use illegal software but I wouldn't. If I want to use a program I don't have I'll borrow it from a friend or if I really want it I'll have my dad get it for me. But most of the time I just find programs that have the stuff I want that are free or a program thats the same type of program and change it a bit so I have everything I want in it. I don't see the point of getting photoshop cs when theres other versions of photoshop that you can get cheaper that still work good. If you want all the features of a program theres probably a bunch of free programs that each have one or two of the features.
