No, Adobe allows you to download a 30 day free trial, at which time you either pony up the $$ to get a legitimate serial number which allows activation and registration of the software, and its use in accordance with their licensing terms. Should you not pay the money, the software no longer functions. If in the meanwhile you tamper with the software and provide a phoney number in order to allow it to work past the 30 day free trial, you have stolen the software and have become a software pirate.
