General questions

How does Adobe help reduce the availability of non-genuine (also known as pirated) software and apps? 

Adobe works proactively to prevent fraud at the source by monitoring fraud trends, blocking known issues, closing potential gaps, and prosecuting offending suppliers. We also continuously work to improve our fraud detection capabilities to help prevent Adobe apps from being modified and resold without permission. We want our customers to fully enjoy the benefits of genuine Adobe apps and services.
