Exactly! If you think about it, how many people know how to use a computer well? How many know how to use one well enough to be familiar with torrents, trackers, and P2P, .nfo's, keygens, risks that come with piracy (viruses, hackers etc)?

Photoshop is an excellent example. People are NOT going to spend $1500 on software that they don't need. They might use it once or twice, but they aren't going to pay that price in the first place! Only those who truly know the potential of the program and need it for their hobby/field of work will pay for it.
