How is pirating software a thing?
I understand that sharing video, photos, documents etc. is relatively safe because the data is not executed in the processor as instructions. How come people are willing to download and install pirated software though? How can one be confident that it does not contain malicious addons? Are people just don't know the risks? Or are there protection mechanisms that I am missing? I mean since the software is usually cracked there is not much use in comparing checksums with the originals, is it?

That's why I'm learning Blender, I think I'll be able to carry on without Maya.
Adobe isn't pretty but Autodesk is a scourge
I Love blender. I am also learning it but more because it works on linux unlike AutoCAD
Blender is fully capable these days, have fun!
