what they say if it looks to good to be true it probably is, if Adobe has them listed as one of their seller affiliates then go for it otherwise I would not do it.

It seems very suspicious - you have to become a member to do this, and yet no where can I see what the fee for membership is. If you sign up, let us know how it works!

I think I'll just keep my distance from that site. Thanks everyone!

In an office place you are using a workstation connected to the office network and are using (time-sharing) for example Excel to do a spreadsheet. The office server is fast and jumps from one spreadsheet to another... Joe's to Sally's. Could be that you become part of a large office using PS.

This appears to be a "BitTorrent" type of file-sharing site. These sites attempt to circumvent copyright laws. The website does not possess a copy of the software. It connects users with others who have the software - and it allows users to only take a little piece of the software from each member until they can get the entire product. Any "licensing" or "support" is NOT from the company which they are ripping off. This is very hard to track, and this technique is largely responsible for music sales to have dropped over 50% in the past ten years.
According to Wikipedia:

In the United States, more than 200,000 people have been sued for filesharing on BitTorrent since 2010.[98]

In 2011, 18.8% of North American internet traffic was used by peer-to-peer networks which equates to 132 billion music file transfers and 11 billion movie file transfers on the BitTorrent network.[99]

On 30 April 2012 the UK High Court ordered five ISPs to block BitTorrent search engine The Pirate Bay

So - I would stay away from this type of "service". While I dislike the extortion committed by Bill Gates and others, I am not ready to deny them copyright protection.

I agree, and will not involve myself in any type of piracy or copyright infringement as has happened to me recently.

Yeah, I'm not inclined to raise the black and go that route.

Check out http://www.scamadviser.com/is-secure.softwaretrans.com-a-fake-site.html. Basically the jury is not completely in. The red flag is that although this is based in the US, the real location of the company is hidden. For me that is a big red NO WAY JOSÉ.
