What do you all think about piracy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Pirated and OS software are different things, obviously. But would you prefer one over the other? I'm thinking of switching to both OS software AND pirated software. Just want opinions and tips from this community.

Far be it from me to criticize people pirating this software but after some period of adjustment I'm very happy with the open source alternatives to most of these.

Nowadays I’ve transitioned from all adobe software, but I’d be lying if I say I don’t miss them. Photoshop in particular is so good to use.

That's fair, in all honesty it's a great tool. But in the end it's not worth it.

Yeah tbh I don't actually use adobe products at all. I only want windows and games so that's why I asked this question in the first place, piracy also included of course.
