This goes beyond “planned obsolescence” and steps right into fraud, in my opinion. It’s like you buy a car, or an appliance, or a computer, or anything with a time bomb that makes it not work anymore after a time.

The software I paid for has been rendered useless. This is outrageous, and nothing less that thievery. Then a message appeared explaining that Adobe no longer supports CS2 and therefore I needed to sign up for their monthly subscription to get a new license.

I went to install CS2 with the legitimate serial number I purchased. I purchased a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS2 way back when. No question about that, and that’s why people want to buy it.īut Adobe also steals from buyers, by taking money from them and then taking back the products they sold. Thanks for checking back and hope that makes more sense to you.Īdobe puts together fantastic pieces of software. So yes, the price is absolutely marked up to something credible on purpose, even if the product is fraudulent.

No one will believe a free (or $100) Photoshop on eBay, right? (hope you can see that) However, $499 is far more believable, and will get more traction from their victims dreaming of a “good deal” on a the real thing.

In addition to distributing malicious hacked software for free through torrents etc., scammers will also try to peddle bogus software for a price on eBay, Craigslist, Amazon Marketplace, etc. Don’t be an easy mark.įinally, you’re way, way off base with your point on pricing. As we’ve pointed out again and again, it’s cheap and the materials (if any!) are relatively simple to produce, and it has become too easy to part a sucker from his money online. The bottom line is that swindlers have generated countless times more counterfeits than ever existed genuine versions from Adobe. And statistically speaking, getting a bad draw on eBay is far, far more likely than in Russian Roulette. Not every chamber in the revolver has to have a bullet in it to make playing Russian Roulette a pretty hazardous idea… It’s because overwhelmingly (for all the reasons cited above) the player doesn’t know which one he will get – and the consequences of getting it wrong are bad. That is again an overly simplistic (and ultimately pointless) argument.

No one ever said that absolutely every single copy on eBay was a fake, Scott, nor that there weren’t at least some legitimate products out there.

If you have a SOUND argument, address each one of these numbered points specifically. What IS naive’ is your gross generalizations. If you want access to many systems you don’t charge people hundreds of dollars for access to their system. Does that mean ALL used software for sale is counterfeit? NO it doesn’t.ĥ) Why would someone trying to infect millions of computers charge hundreds and thousands of dollars for software with viruses and trojan horses? How does the fee to get through that gate help them? That is a crazy rational. Yes, there may be counterfeits out there for sale. If used software is not legitimate why does Adobe have this process in place?ģ) How many legitimate copies of software exist in the world today? When one of those owners no longer uses the software, does it suddenly become counterfeit? How? Why?Ĥ) There just aren’t that many pieces of used software for sale online to believe this is a huge problem affecting ALL used software. How or why is my software suddenly a hack or counterfeit?Ģ) Adobe themselves have a process of ownership transfer for their software. Let me make this simple.ġ) I have software purchased legitimately from Adobe. Sorry, but you have failed to reasonable respond to my comment with a compelling well reasoned argument.
