Are you saying that the board rules are moot, the law is bunk, that we're obligated to help you pirate software because you think a whole bunch of other people do it, and that the ease in which you can pirate software somehow justifies not going through legal channels to acquire it?
People who are not made of money just don't get to have things that people who are made of money get to have. Your financial situation does not justify paying less or nothing for things other people are required to pay full price for.
If you cannot afford this software, you're looking for pity in the wrong place. We have no sympathy for your situation. You obviously have the means to acquire some kind of Apple computer, no matter how old, and that apparently isn't enough -- you also feel entitled to a bunch of software for free. A minimum wage job will get you the entire Adobe Creative Suite in under a year, and legally, to boot.
