Intellectual Property laws is trying to nurture people's access to solutions. I believe our scarcity is not of money, time, nor energy, but of solutions, and as we are all humans we need to have one overall integrated mutual solutions that's managed not to destroy each other. The damage of piracy is not just to big corporations, but to our community as it's not encouraged to develop administration to respect providers of solutions. If it were respected open source supposed to be more popular.

Photoshop can be a IPv6 G4 phone tablet on itself if they work with Amazon Kindle, HP WebOS, Nokia and even HTC Andriod. They should move themselves away from the fate of MS, Google, Oracle or IBM

Piracy is the only reason Photoshop is a household name. If it wasnt for piracy then some other company would be king. In fact I remember cracks would come out for really early photoshop like vesion 2 way before even the beta was released indicating to me that the company them selves released the key. Because if you are a student and have a cracked photoshop what do you think you will be using when you get a job? a legit copy of photoshop.
