Adobe's new subscription-only piracy killer Photoshop has already been pirated in one day - Polidicks

[quote] [B]Adobe Photoshop Creative Cloud Has Already Been Pirated In Just One Day[/B] With all the recent discussion about Adobe’s Creative Cloud model and the polarizing opinions surrounding it, one of the topics people have been mentioning is how it will stop the pirating of Photoshop and other Adobe products in the suite. Some felt that many people were just upset with the model because it could no longer be pirated by those who did not pay.

Where there's a will, there's a way. 50 bucks says that there's going to be a hack chip for the Xbone as fast as they can print it.

The more you call something un-crackable/un-pirateable, the more you're issuing a challenge.

It won't ever be un-piratable unless Adobe starts remote hosting the application, so you'd have to download parts of the application when using it. Which would be retarded.

Doubt Adobe cares. As long as large businesses and schools aren't pirating it, they don't care as much.

Thing is. Adobe really doesn't care. People will pirate it and get familiar with it. And when they need some software for professional use they will go with what they are familiar with. There is a reason why things like Photoshop are the industry standard.

It really annoys me that Adobe feel the need to release a new CS every year when the total difference between releases has got to be around 1% of the software. It's the same issue I have with yearly Anti Virus releases; pretty much all you're paying for is a slightly different UI and maybe a tool that lets you make boobies look a bit bigger. I'd much rather they consolidated all the features of maybe two or three CS releases into a single package and shipped a new product every three years. That rotatey canvas tool has come in really handy, but you can get buggered if you think I'm spending a thousand dollars just for that feature

I seriously hope they reconsider this subscription-only "cloud" shit for those of us who prefer paying once, otherwise I guess I'll be using CS6 indefinitely

Honestly, if they (or anyone for that matter) say that something is "Un-piratable" they are gonna get pirated faster than something that didn't boast that, Because, for some people, making cracks for things is a lifestyle, its their pride and joy, im not saying thats right, nor am i saying its wrong, just that... your gonna insult someone, and then they will get back at you.... by then uploading their pirated version. Thats just my opinion though....

Counting losses in the billions due to piracy is false because most pirates were never going to buy the item. Yes. some pirates if unable to pirate would pay for the item. The only way to make piracy unappealing is to reward loyal customers. Also if Adobe had not priced their product at an exorbitant price, people would not resort to piracy. Adobe software unlike video games cannot be bought by an average Joe for personal uses who could barely earn enough money to buy one. Piracy is bad and cloud computing would still never solve this.

[QUOTE=C0linSSX;41123389]I seriously hope they reconsider this subscription-only "cloud" shit for those of us who prefer paying once, otherwise I guess I'll be using CS6 indefinitely[/QUOTE] They said they will still let people buy the software. The cloud based subscription is really to attract those who need it for commercial purposes for a limited time.

[QUOTE=areolop;41123299]P sure my old High School had pirated Windows 7 onto all its machines because that "genuine" dialog would be in the lower-right corner[/QUOTE] nah, that happens in some cases when you do wide swath images and did show after a few windows updates as well. It's more likely that your IT admin just doesn't bother to disable it.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;41123369]if adobe didnt care they wouldnt go out of their way to release a "cloud" version of creative suite and announce it as a solution to piracy[/QUOTE] A solution as in 'Now the people who can't put together large lump sums but can manage monthly payments, aka a lot of people, can afford to buy instead of pirating'

Get better anti-piracy, we'll just get better pirates.

[QUOTE=katbug;41123516]That's because they're both handhelds, and one of them is nintendo. Nintendo shit is so airtight, there's probably literally nothing to exploit.[/QUOTE] There are at least two known exploits, but the person who discovered the first one went full moralfag and said he wasn't revealing anything because 'piracy killed the DS' (all indications suggest it actually moved a shitload of systems. This is why DS Lite and DSi/DSi XL are still being sold and regularly restocked - with flashcarts there is still a huge demand for them.) The other exploit is hardware based, it's called Gateway and it exploits the SD card to load .3ds roms. The exploit might have been hot-fixed though, so I wouldn't buy it. I wouldn't buy anything unless the scene discovers a solid exploit along the lines of people finding the PS3 keys, anything less and you risk shit being kill-switched or not working because of an update.

It didn't take long to crack Ubisofts Always Online DRM. What made people think this would be any different?

[QUOTE=areolop;41123299]P sure my old High School had pirated Windows 7 onto all its machines because that "genuine" dialog would be in the lower-right corner[/QUOTE] Our school had a license for its programs and Windows 7 which made it possible to make one image-file of the OS and all its programs then just copy-paste it into all PC's. But our elementary school had a pirated/tricked copy of Photoshop. It always said something like "4632467 days left in trial." This was in the 90s so I bet that was easy to do back then. :v:

From the same source: [URL]http://fstoppers.com/why-you-should-be-offended-by-the-pirating-of-photoshop[/URL] Yeah, I'm offended by how a average Joe has to pirate it to both fully own it and also to afford it without breaking bank.

What did they honestly expect??

Stay classy, Adobe.

50 bucks a month for every program isn't too bad at all. considering without cloud the master collection is like [b]$2,600[/b]
