Adobe announced back in May, that it was set to drop it’s Creative Suite as a boxed product, instead the company decided to focus wholly on offering its software via a subscription service. On June 17 2013, those subscriptions launched from the Adobe website with customers paying in the range of $19.99 and $74.99 per month for access to Adobe’s suite of applications.
A server connection is required to verify legal copies on a regular basis, but that’s not a 100% guarantee illegal copies of the software can’t and won’t appear. Proof of that comes in the form of a cracked version of Photoshop CC, which was made available in less than 24 hours after the subscriptions went live.
Adobe had thought that releasing its software via a subscription service would cut down on piracy of its products. However, a torrent for the subscription version of Photoshop CC has appeared on The Pirate Bay. The torrent file is named “Adobe Photoshop CC 14.0 Final Multilanguage.” The comments on the torrent listing seem to confirm this is the latest version of Photoshop and it is in full working order.
