I came across this website on facebook. Whats up with this? I was thinking scam.

EDIT: I guess it is a scam, they're not on Adobe's authorized online reseller list

Any outrageously low price for expensive software is a scam. It is probably pirated.

Seriously, why do people post these questions? What sort of margin do they think is being made that prices could be slashed like this?


cheers, juice (Canon shooter, Elinchrom lighter, but pretty much agnostic on brands.)

I guess "people" and "they" is referring to me. Maybe I'm not as smart as you. Maybe it could have been an education copy and I was missing something. What kind of margin is being made on that? (usually sold for $199)

No, not just you. These pop up all the time, and they're ridiculous every time.
