Ashley,
yup, ugly fact is the insane prices of high end apps a few years ago caused a hell of a lot of piracy as users who'd want to be legit, could NOT afford those barking mad prices,

remember they were all several thousand $ and WAY up and then they crashed ot "sane" levels, proving there had been gross over-pricing gouging us consumers.

it's stupid to over price things.
