Here's another, and ironic, side effect: The typical person who gets a pirated version of Photoshop is someone who, if he couldn't have acquired an illegal copy of Photoshop, would probably have bought a cheaper image editor. Perhaps Photoshop Elements, but possibly Paint Shop Pro, Photo Paint or whatever. Or perhaps a product that never came to market but might have if not for the availability of free, cracked copies of Photoshop.
Bizarrely, one of the things accomplished by pirated copies of Photoshop is to make the market very, very tough for any possible *competitor* to Photoshop. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
