the sad reality — what they’re selling is what Corporate USA is paying for – Network TV where I’ve worked for years once had separate sound/lighting, camera, editor/producer/correspondent jobs. Now, for the most part (at local, but increasingly at network) There’s one job available, if you can’t do it, someone else will.
Oh, and we’d like you to blog, tweet and create a web page too.
Guess what, the 20 somethings can and will do this. The rest of us are quickly becoming fossils if we don’t adapt.
Insulting to our “professionalism” Of course it is. Do the people who the pay the bills and squeeze every last profit penny out of the workers care? Of course not.
I’ve learned and mastered many of the skills running my own production company. Adobe is simply reflecting reality.

whatever the law says it should be…there are fines…..I create films, videos, radio programs for a living….if someone pirates that work, they aren’t just making a copy….they are stealing someone’s hard work and not paying for it…..that is theft, plain and simple — the folks who’ve admitted to it know its wrong and in depending on the circumstance illegal (the rationalization “I was using it to learn on and never did any paid for work or created something of value with it”….may fall into fair use….the lawyers will have to weigh in on that) But I simply don’t understand creative professionals justifying this.

[Gary Huff] Adobe has been a profitable company throughout the period where their software was one of the most pirated in the world. The people who did the direct work of creating this software all got paid on salary, which was not directly tied to any amount of copies that were sold.”
Unbelievably wrong – their salary, the companies profits and it’s very existence was tied to the number of copies that were sold.
[Gary Huff] But the fact remains that people pirate, have pirated, and will pirate, and our response to these thought-exercises should be to look at things as they are, and not just offer some knee-jerk robotic response of “Copyright infringement is stealing and stealing is bad and you should feel bad.””
And people steal and shoplift and break all kinds of laws, so we should just acknowledge that they do it, shrug our shoulders and go on with our day – nothing to see here. Gary, you are a professional photographer…you’re OK with people pirating your work and not getting paid?

Don’t call some a diplomat – they’re likely to call you a jerk

How on earth is using software you did not pay for, created by people who spent years creating, ethical or legal?

Gary I’m clearly not smart enough to understand anything you are saying.

Gary, know enough about debate not to get involved with someone who insults and belittles. But good to learn about others flexible situational ethics.

Gary – you are saying it’s ok to use software as a professional and not pay for it. And that’s legal and ok?
