Quote and post links to the rulings that state that downloading and then using an unauthorised copy of Adobe Photoshop is not illegal.

The fact is that it is illegal. The person downloading then using Adobe Photoshop should have paid Adobe for a license to use it, they didn't, it's theft. If everyone did this then Adobe would have no income at all from the software.

Adobe did not release it as free software, they released it in order to receive income from each licensed user, the intent was not anything other than profit motivated.
