I agree with you about Photoshop piracy. I'm not saying Adobe actively encouraged it, but I do believe they unofficially condoned it, or at least recognized the benefits of it.
People (businesses) who could afford Photoshop paid for it, and people who couldn't afford it, download it, and got hooked on it. If they later started a business, or got rich enough, they'd buy Photoshop, because it's what they had learned and were used to.
I'm sure Adobe preferred people to use Photoshop for free than other, more affordable or pirated, software from their rivals.

Photoshop has one of the most powerful batch engines ... no need to load files one by one ... put all the files you want to use(rename) in a common folder, and VOILA!!
And yes .... without a doubt Adobe 'allowed' piracy as part of their business model ... They did not become the world's most popular photo manipulation tool by selling $899 licenses!
