You'll be fine as long as you're not running a business. If you have a D.B.A. (doing business as) for example. And you're running a small production or graphics company at home...and you're using a bootleg copy of anything, you can lose your license and your business, probably add a hefty fine to that while you''re at it...and uh... thats basically the end of life as you know it. However, if you're just photoshopping as a hobbie, then you'll be fine. Nobody will come after you. I've got P.S. Os9 and it's a bootleg. Love it too. GREAT TEXT TOOLS.

Well I am not going to say if I do or do not have a copy... but I will say that you can be fined/ go to jail if you are caught... There is a serial code that you are provided with. Also there are some updates and if you don't have the genuine serial code/cd key then that would be a way that you would get caught. but i don't think that the CS2 operators would report it. Only someone connected to the cops or some other agencies that look for that kind of stuff...

I dont know, but surely the consequences would be bad if there is. But I think adobe cant do much, as you said, there're just too much people in the world using cracked version. They cant possible track down everyone and punish them, right?

I've got CS2, but is a trial version i downloaded from adobe site.

Sorry but I go for genuines
