Comments on: 60% of Photoshop Users are PIRATES! - From Digg Late Breaking New Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:38:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Bradley Hart http://bradstinyworld.com/late-breaking-new/wtf/60-of-photoshop-users-are-pirates-from-digg/#comment-634 Bradley Hart Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:53:47 +0000 #comment-634 <a href="#comment-633" rel="nofollow">@Taylor@Adobe Flex Training</a> - There certainly is the so few people get caught mentality going on when it comes to piracy. There is also a lot of people who feel the need to stick it to big companies that charge huge amounts of money for their software. Personally I think adobe would do considerably better in the profit margin if they simply made photoshop and other programs dirt cheap. There would still be some piracy if the program was $25.00 but the total number of units they would sell and how many existing users would be willing to upgrade every time a new version comes out would more than make up for the price difference.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('634','Bradley Hart'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('634','Bradley Hart','<a href=\"#comment-633\" rel=\"nofollow\">@Taylor@Adobe Flex Training<\/a> -\nThere certainly is the so few people get caught mentality going on when it comes to piracy.
