Hello, I had photoshop and my computer died and got
reformatted or what ever and now I don't LOL. So devoed. Someone
help me get it back for minimum price as I don't have the disk
for it now.

I will be eternally grateful

Torrenting would obviously be the cheapest way.

I don't give support for paying for software - Sorry!

Well... downloading a cracked version via torrent would be free.

But if you want to do it the legit way:

http://www.gradware.com/
http://www.academicsuperstore.com/

isnt that bad either

Buy it. Any other method is illegal >_>

I'd preffer not to pay for it. Isn't it like a $1000
program?

On the student discount websites I listed they are aprox. $297

And I dunno if Im allowed to post torrent sites .

Okay that's good then. I thought 'cause photoshop is such
a well know program or what ever they might have had something
to detect who's getting it illegally and all that.

check inbox.

It shouldn't be about getting caught, its about the moral aspect of it.

Lets say you open a small programming company. You work tireless hours and finally create your product. Your company grows and grows and more people learn about it. You start to finally see the monetary reward for your hard work.

But slowly more and more people turn to downloading it, your still bringing in money but not nearly as much as you deserve. How would you feel? Annoyed knowing some punk kid is downloading all of your programs because hes too cheap to buy it?

But as long as your happy with not paying for it, its not like you care about the feelings of others or anything.

Theres little morals left of paying for software nowadays tho, because its the age of 'open-source'.

Don't get me started on morals. Haha, well you see
I don't support large companies unless they are doing
something I think is good of them. They are rich.
They don't need any more cash unless they are spending
it on something decent. And I'm a 16yr old. I sell sandwichs
You think I have alot of money? I am cheap and I know
it. Besides money only makes people lose thier own morals
half the time.

So people who work hard to get where they are dont deserve what they have? Nice logic there.

Well those companies are trying to bring down thier rivals all the time.
They are trying to take something away from someone who worked hard. F**k
them, they are rich. They have alot more than they need. Even we have more
than we need. I'm negative towards society and the world and don't want to
support anything that doesn't seem to have heart behind it. I'd rather
spend my cash on something I wanna support, something I feel needs it
than some rich fascists in suits. Obviously not always the case but I'm
hoping you understand what I am getting at

And your even worse then them, your stealing. They were once "that little guy", all business were. Large business are a good thing. They worked hard, they beat their rivals and they deserve to be where they are. Without them we would be paying a lot more for a worse product, do you really want that? Oh no im sure you dont care, you happy to steal from someone simply because they already have money. Try to justify it all you want, its stealing either way. Are you going to steal a $500,000 car from a porshe dealer simply because hes rich already? How about a $50 million plane from bill gates? Yes? No?

I don't want a Porsche or a plane. No one needs that.Guess no one needs
photoshop but still. Dude I sell sandwiches, I don't have that moneyand
my mum doesn't love me lol so she won't buy it. My money goes towards
people/organizations and stuff that could really use it. People doing
it for their passion not for a paycheck. Honestly I'd rather support
my music scene and bands that are broke but still come up to where
I live to play for a small group of people than give some guy in a
$1000 suit my cash. Besides I used to own it, my dad paid for it and
lost it. So they already got his cash so pffftttt that's more than
enough. Tell them to donate to charity and I'll pay for it.

If you cant afford something, why not go without it? Thats how a society works.

for the people supporting buying software.. everyone downloads software. its a fact of the intarwebs. no one really buys software these days... unless its a corporate company or schools.

check out torrent sites like mininova.org or something, they will have what ur looking for.

tedtwilliger wrote:If you cant afford something, why not go without it? Thats how a society works.

I can afford it. You see it depends where I get it from. It can be free.

i dont know about torrents, if you do and could maybe pm i would be eternally grateful

They mostly rely on the companies or schools buying the software licenses.

I will only care when im the one losing money, same as everyone else.

tedtwilliger wrote:ANd illegal, a big fact you seem to ignore.

Also riding a bike without a helmet is illegal here. But that's a tiny, insignificant fact. It's funny though, that there's no punishment for riding a bike without wearing helmet.

Let's say one has three options:
1. Pay a nice chunk of money for the program
2. Survive without the program
3. Download it for free. Yeah, ILLEGALLY.

Okay.. Now I wont pay a good chunk of money for a program that I do not desperately need so number one is out. Leaves me with two options; download it or forget it. Either way, the outcome is the same for the company. They make no profit but they don't actually lose anything either because I wouldn't buy the program. So I can choose, break the law a little and get the program for free or or not break the law and live without the program. As i'm already a filthy criminal that wears no helmet when riding a bike...

Christ, stop being such a goodietoeshoes, it won't get you anywhere in life.
They made the program, they got rich. They are still rich regardless of how many people use it for free - and will always be rich.
Software prices are outrageous for some programs these days.
$200~$1000 for a fuc.king program that lets your edit photos? Yeah, kay.
I don't have personally but I'd never pay that much money for it.
Now, if it were around $50 and I were actually interested in the software I might consider buying it.

Good post Shadow.

I was gonna say something like this. If i couldnt download something i wouldnt buy it anyway so the company loses nothing from me downloading it.
