Dear Adobe,
It appears that the Linux community has published a web page not only condoning the policy of pirating your application Dreamweaver 8 but also publishing a step by step list of instructions. Additionally a Linux fanatic who goes by the name Roy Schestowitz has been blasting the link to the instructions all over USENET although it appears that he is not the author of the blog describing the piracy of Dreamweaver 8.

Here is the url for the blog

Here is Mr.Schestowitz's post to USENET

As a long time Adobe paying customer I find it appalling that Linux users have the audacity to think they don't have to pay for commercial software.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
