Adobe Software in no longer easy to pirate. From what I understand people have to go to great lengths to pirate CS6, same goes for Office 2010, a friend told me that to pirate it he had to call Microsoft and mess around with files, it's not just a keygen anymore.

For Adobe Software it's easier than it has been in years. No need to install a patch. You just have to edit your host file to block all the domains CS uses to phone home.

Right, but finding a good Product Key is very difficult still.

No it's not. The keys don't go bad. 1 Key can be used for a million installs b/c the software never contacts adobe.
