<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #000000; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"]Yes, there are dangers in downloading software of unknown origin onto your computer (mac or pc). Torrents of popular software are often simply viruses with enticing file names.<o

<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #000000; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"]This is quite the statement and speaking from significant experience completely over blown and inaccurate - torrents are viruses...right . If you know what you are doing and get the torrent from a site that posts comments about the torrent you should have no problems... If you don't know what you are doing then it’s your own fault IMO. That who these "hackers" pray on, the uninformed.<o

<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; color: #000000; font-size: 9pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"]I would simply avoid the issue entirely. Lightroom isn't all that expensive, and PS is more than 95% of us actually need.<o

<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"]Lightroom is a great piece of software but isn’t 95% of what I use…<o

<p class="MsoNormal"]<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 9pt;"]I have been downloading software for years and never had a problem as I put a little effort into finding and using a reputable site and read the feedback from others who have already installed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"] I have no problem with this as I am not making money form the software… come the days I get paid for this I will gladly buy the software.<o
