"Adobe has disabled the activation server for CS2 products, including Acrobat 7, because of a technical issue. These products were released more than seven years ago, do not run on many modern operating systems, and are no longer supported.
Adobe strongly advises against running unsupported and outdated software. The serial numbers below should only be used by customers who legitimately purchased CS2 or Acrobat 7 and need to maintain their current use of these products."
The above is at the top of the page now. Looks like they are just relying on the honesty of the person who finds the page, so I'm sure many will use it dishonestly.
To me honesty is a window into who a person really is and whether they are trustworthy or not.
I've been the victim of having images stolen and used for profit twice. I have a very low opinion of those who cannot be trusted. In fact that is the reason I don't post on galleries. People who will steal software, will steal images IMO. Stealing peoples work or intellectual property is the same as stealing anything else.
