I'm a noob

[fxspecialist]

hey, im in need of a new comp really really badly, but problem is im only 14 and have no way of getting money.
nobody around here hires untill your 16
now ive been fooling around iwth photoshop at my school for a while now, and i thikn i could make some decent
cash. but im kindof worryed about the legal issues... as youve probably guessed i cant exactly afford to buy
photoshop, but there are always other ways *cough*
so do you guys think it would be alrite if i just got photoshop the wrong way untill i made enough money to buy the
legit version? would people be able to find out i have a illegal copy if i sent them just hte photoshop file? how
big of a risk would i be taking?

i wouldnt to it tha illegal way cause you can get sued over that.

If you like when i talk to my friend, he can give me a site were u can buy photoshop cheaper

To answer the question - no, they wouldn't be able to tell.

However, maybe you should look into some free packages out there and get use to those until you can afford photoshop. A good one I'd recommend is GIMP (http://www.gimp.org). Completely free and very powerful.

Being 14 and broke is no excuse to steal. It's not alright. But only your conscience and common sense will prevent you from doing so.

The Gimp is a GREAT free tool. Use that :D

Interested in making some money though, eh? Post a lot at Namepros (don't spam) and sell your NP$ at a .016 rate It will take a while, so do that in conjunction with developing your own website templates and selling those too.

You'll do fine I started making $$ when I was 14 too. I'm only 15 now :P

There is a good program called Gimp. It works just like photoshop and even looks like it but it is 100% FREE! Somethings are different but I would highly recommend it if you are worried about stealing.
