Download it, crack it, use it. Piracy is stealing if you intended on spending the $$ to buy it but don't because ou get it through any p2p. I would NEVER, EVER spend that kind of money in an editing software for personnal use. Whether I download it or not, it does not matter to Sony, I would not have bought it anyway. Heck it's even better for them that I download it now as someday, if I edit professionnal videos in order to make money, I would actually buy the license.
So just download it. Risks are virtually inexistant as the MPAA (US only, eventhough they tend to think otherwise) only cares about music and a little bit about movies. And even that, as long as you have decent tastes in music, you would never get caught :lol:
