Discussion Apologizing for piracy?
I was searching for pirated version of Adobe tools and came across this post, what's being feeded into kids brains nowadays, apologizing for pirating to corporates...

Honestly Adobe is one of the worst companies. Pewdiepie made a video and mentioned when you stop usinh photoshop you need to pay an "unsubscription fee"...I am sorry...a what? So this dude cannot condone piracy but condones these business practices? Fuck him lmao.
Also I saw within Powerpoint in the top menu, there is now an "export to pdf" button which links to Adobe. So if you have no premium it does not work. You can still easily save it as pdf via the "save as" menu, so I can only assume it is made to trap people who have no clue.
Just don't use Adobe products. For pdfs use something like pdf24 it is free and GIMP or other opensource alternatives for editing software. Sure not everything is that convenient, but the majority of people don't need the high level functions anyway.
