you can fly to hong kong and buy a pirated copy for $2.

but i dont think you would fly to hong kong to get that.
Yeah considering it costs a few hundred for the flight, which you could have used to buy Photoshop legally.
See if you can find a copy of Photoshop 4 or 5 lying around in a bargain bin somewhere for $30, and spend $150 to upgrade it to 7 or 8. That's the best way to go.
