Oh pleaseThese are the same people who get on their high horses if somebody elses image turns up in the papers, like its theft.
Second, yes Photoshop is a powerful as f**k and costs a lot of money because it targets a professional market, who are perfectly happy to pay for this very reasonably priced product. It is crammed full of stuff that has nothing to with kittens. If you can't afford then there is Photoshop Elements which is the one targeted at you, it will do the same job for 60 quid. If you can't afford that for your art, then I guess we'll all just have live with out it. You could try a pencil.
Third I hardly think Adobe is a monopoly and no company can afford for its products to be routinely stolen, not if it wants to stay in business.
