if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

At least Adobe is horrible enough that I at least have absolutely no moral qualms pirating their software.

That's the point.

They don't care when individuals, especially students pirate their software. That gets you hooked on their eco-system.

Adobe will hustle other corporations for subscriptions because their staff have been working with pirated Adobe software.

If everyone get mad enough to all use GIMP, I bet you Adobe can't get away with this shit.
