If you can't afford Photoshop Elements there are still other options. Saying that using a pirate copy of Photoshop isn't theft because 'they werent going to make money off of me anyway' is a ridiculous rationalization. Could I say the same thing and get away with it if I took a CD from a store? Well damn...I wasn't gonna buy it anyhow. Might as well just take it. Theft is theft.
