Shrink wrap equipment is cheap.
Further, even a legitimate copy of CS2 would be unsupported under Vista
64 and XP 64 is a completely unsupported operating system for any Adobe
software.

I run PS7 on my PC at home with Vista 32....alot of people can't do that...it just depends.
I believe you believe it, in fact, I believe the seller may even believe
it...But if I were a betting man I'd bet against it.

The companies that make pirated version are, just that, companies that have multiple burners, printers for the jackets/serial number tags and shrink-wrap equipment to make them look like the original.
I could get a small company like that running for under 10K and make 100x that before I was discovered being I'm a manufacturer with a retail chain (read E-Bay).
It's not a legit business that burns/makes the software available; It's organized crime. Organized gangs deal in a lot of such businesses; anything that they can make a quick buck in. Yes shrink wrap machines are cheap nowadays.
How do you know? <g>

I've worked at BTB (Bradbury, Tamblyn & Bourne) prior to them being bought by BOWNE & Co. in the mid nineties. Mainly prepress at both (old school and digital).
