<i>Frowning</i>, The letters just started coming. I have no pirated software, the only Adobe I have came with my Canon scanner.

After throwing the envelopes into the trash for weeks. I called the 800 number. I was disgusted and angry at the accusations.

I demanded the accusations and threats cease immediatly. I asked the person on the phone where they got my address. That was when he said they got the addresses from magazine subscriptions.

They don't even know if you own a computer. After our discussion,I have received no more letters.

BTW, I have licenses for ALL my applications, and OS'.

OK, one more thing. All the threats came via snail mail. It was just a ploy perpetrated upon magazine subscribers and it cost them mucho dinero in postage.
