I don't know about customers, but I think this is a pretty fair relationship Adobe has with pirates of its products.

Pirate. I'll just wait till someone breaks your CS5 copy protection. Then I'll download and install your suite without paying you a dime.

Adobe. If CS5 lets anyone h4x0r you through a TIFF file we won't even fix it with an update.

I'd say that's a pretty fair relationship.

Of course normally a company cares more about establishing a fair relationship with its paying customers, but hey, up to them I guess. /s

Sure, it may be a fair relationship with pirates, but should paying customers have to suffer as a result?
