I hate to break it to u guys but, for every program thats made, cracks are made. There is no way around it. Even mighty MS office can be and has been cracked. Secondly, regaurdless of the fact of piracy, any legit business still has to buy real copy's of programs less they face a huge law suit. The one thing that no one can disbute is that adobe puts out great software with cheap upgrades. To bad curious labs cant figure this out. PDI.
