Adobe pretty much encouraged piracy up until about a decade ago, that way they got schools to train (for free) potential future customers in their way to use design software.

TBH I don’t understand why they have gone with the subs model they currently have, its kind of cutting the blood line from their future customers.

Competition is always a good thing, FOSS competition is the best thing in my opinion.

This guy is a hero, but not because he is trying to fuck Adobe but rather he is helping free design software from (massive) cost which most people cannot afford.

More designers, better art to my mind.

Adobe hasn’t lost anything, they have tied up “design” for any business use. Its a total monopoly.
