by pirating adobe software, you're not "sticking it to the man" or hurting adobe at all. instead, you're becoming accustomed to software that you'll have to pay for after whatever exploit used to crack the software you use is patched. for example, if adobe software ever does become only available as a web app, how exactly are you going to pirate it when it's not even on your computer? become accustomed to the FOSS alternatives, even if they aren't as fully featured, you know they won't be suddenly taken from you in the future.
