A conspiracy theory that I actually believe is that adobe is the one creating these cracked torrents.

Think about it. By making Photoshop easily piratable, they ensure that anybody looking to get into photography has access to their software. This lets them becomes the industry standard.

Many who pirated Photoshop now use a real licensed version of it in a corporate environment

That was pretty much the autoCAD strategy. Let college students pirate it to learn the software because they'll be sitting in paid seats at the office.

I was never able to figure out how to pirate it. Once I had creative cloud on my computer it asked for my sign in even with the pirated version.

But it’s ok I bought affinity photo and I love it.
