pcgd Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hey, I'm at work and got an email about some cheap programs. 60 bucks for Illustrator 10 or Photoshop 7. These are just as good as CS in my opinion. I use both on a daily basis and haven't found anything I can't do on 7 or 10 that I can in CS. You can also get the CS versions for 80 bucks. I know nothing about the company good or bad, so do some research if you can. Here's the site:Cheap software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroseed Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 Should be mentioned that the software (according to them) is OEM, which means you receive it without a box or a manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcgd Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 OH man, I'm sorry. I didn't see it. Like I said, do your research, I just saw the price and wanted to relay the information. My bad again. Thanks for that nitro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 i dont understand, we go out and but them when u can just get a copy right of the internet?its not hard at all im in the procces of getting photoshop 7 right now. for a big old 0$it may be wrong but i think its wrong take make ppl pay 220$ for desgining software If you had any idea how many man hours it takes to develop and improve the software, you'd understand why the programs are so expensive.And the reason people buy the software instead of just downloading it off the internet for free, is because they want to do the right thing and they know that people's income is dependent upon Adobe or Macromedia or whoever moving copies of the program.Sorry.... I'm against evil corporations and all that, but downloading warez is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitroseed Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 i dont see it wrong at allppl have the right to share there programs That's where you're wrong: the programs people use are not "their" programs. They are the programs of the companies who developed and manufactured them. When you buy a program, you buy the rights to use that software, not to distribute it. You have to remember: these tools like Illustrator and Photoshop were designed as professional tools, which is why the price is so high. Yes, they are made available to the general public, but they obviously can't go selling it at a cut rate for non-pros. It sucks that the software is so expensive, but I understand why it is that way. The company has a right to charge what they do, and it's a very fair asking price considering the clientel they are targeting and developing for.

Avenger Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 whatever im saving money... If you owned a store and got robbed, would that be an acceptable explanation from the theif?Fact of the matter is, people like you are part of the reason programs are so expensive. The larger a problem that piracy is, the more money those companies will invest in trying protecting their product, thus increasing the cost to develop the software.
