I've been Amazed that Adobe hasn't made any serious attempt to fix that
like other software companies have.

But then since they charge $650.00 a copy, I guess they can afford the
losses.

On the other hand, if the pirated copies vanished Photoshop would
plummet popularity-wise since none of those people (a lot of them teens
and twenty-somethings) would shell out the money for a legal copy.

Not to mention there are perfectly good substitutes (Paint Shop Pro,
PhotoImpact and even Photoshop Elements) that cost around $100.00 and
are still more than most people need.

And of course The GIMP as well.
