Really don't know Bobby, here it is Jan 12th whereas that article in CGSociety was posted on the 7th. One would think that it's a nothing operation to close down a web page but nevertheless it lingers on. Obviously they'er not supporting the server for those products and Adobe are not saying one way or the other whether it is legal to download and use these packages. I could only imagine that a large portion of the graphics community have downloaded these packages and are already using them at will free of charge. The question still remains; are these then considered pirated goods since Adobe continues to keep the page with the downloads and their serial numbers open?

Personally I would be pissed if I had paid $600+ for Photoshop CS2 and now find that it's openly available for free to anyone who wants it.
