What does anything I do have anything to do with this? I'm merely pointing out that you are paying out money for a license that is no good to you at all. I just don't understand your reasoning behind this. Yes plenty of people pirate LR, they pay no money to do this. You have no more right to use the software than they do, but you've paid out money. It's not logical :)

Maybe he thinks there is less risk of legal action, or downloading unwanted viruses...

Less chance of detection?

Well in all reality there's a low chance of detection with either route. Especially as a casual user. Once software starts getting used commercially the chances go up. Autodesk come down like a ton of bricks when they find a company using pirated or student versions for commercial work. It doesn't happen very often though.
 
FWIW LR4 still doesn't bloody do catalogues on network drives.

Have to mess around with a batch file and copy command :mad:

Rojin Seems to think its a big deal! :rolleyes: i bet his doing the exact same thing with LR4. wouldnt surprise me. Its usually the same people who do dodgy stuff that are big hypocrites.

No, Rojin's point was not about ethics, but about logic...

Edit:
For example..

Say I only park half my car on double yellow's as I know parking on double yellows is an infraction. This doesn't help me though when the parking warden see's half my car on the yellow lines. The warden will still give me a £60 fine, just like he would if all of my car was on yellow lines, it doesn't matter that I tried to minimise my car's impact on the area of yellow lines.
So with that said, I might as well have gone the whole hog, and parked as much on yellow lines as I wanted...

Hey I'm not the one wanting to pay out money for a license that it is of no use whatsoever. If you don't like that being pointed out fair enough, but please don't throw around ridiculous accusations.

Pretty much. I don't know what position Adobe would take with a private individual improperly using a student license. I doubt they would just ask you to pay the difference between the full license and student license, at the very least I would imagine you'd have to shell out for the full license on top of anything already paid. To be honest I've never seen a private individual taken to task for using non licensed software.

I have however seen companies taken to task by both Microsoft and Autodesk. In all these cases compensation has been settled out of court. There is also the recoup of license costs over time, in total were talking a fair chunk of money not a couple of hundred quid.
 
Anyway, this licensing talk is sailing close to the wind in getting the thread closed I'd imagine. So I'll leave it there :)
 
On another note I can't say I'm particularly enjoying LR4, much prefer LR3 at the minute but I guess I just need to spend more time with it.
 
Are you guys buying your retail box versions direct from Adobe or elsewhere?

ALso can anyone who has actually got it report back on any performance issues incurred? Im using a quad core i7 imac with 16gig ram so guess I probably wont notice any performance issues too much.
