Lets say you pirate CAD software like Autodesk Inventor or Dassault Solidworks.

Which company is more aggressive toward pirates? Which software is more dangerous to pirate?

For example I heard Adobe is pretty lax about piracy and it's usually no big deal if you pirate Photoshop. So I wonder how it is with CAD companies.

I have seen a lot of posts about people receiving letter from Dassault about pirated Solidworks. But not so much about Autodesk. So I wonder if Autodesk software is safer to pirate than Dassault software.

Thanks for any advice or experience.

I could be wrong but isn't it essentially impossible to pirate modern versions of Adobe Creative Suite products as they're now cloud based, meaning the only versions you can pirate are around 10 years old?

I was able to pirate photoshop for somebody just last year but it's definitely a bit more in depth than just clicking a magnet link iirc. Doable on windows fs, unsure abt Linux and mac.

don't think it's possible to run photoshop on linux at all (except ancient versions)
