In short, I am a college student that used various pirated software as a learning experience, Photoshop, and Dreamweaver. I was using pirated software because I couldn't afford the real thing. Since then I have gone completely legit. This was about a year ago. I have an ex-employer who is threatening me with reporting me for that piracy. What is my risk factor? I assume/know I can still get it trouble for the software I used in the past. But would it be nearly as bad now that I have turned legit?
