Adobe and most of the big graphics software vendors used to all have an unofficial policy of not going after hobbyists pirating their products. They'd sic the BSA on professionals, but hobbyists pirating their products because they couldn't afford to buy them were where the professionals who did came from. I don't think it's a coincidence I started seeing artists from outside the free software community using the Gimp, Inkscape and Blender when that stopped.
