ICSS Stance on Piracy ----------------------------------------------------------------- We refer to the previous post of Lightroom about participants being able to acquire pirated copies. ICSS would like to retract that statement and reiterate that our society in no manner condones piracy, resorts to piracy or participates in the illegal copy and distribution of any commercial non-public domain product. We recommend that there are often free alternatives available (e.g., freewares) and even for paid copies there are often trial periods where the user may use the software or product with varying degrees of restriction on the product's features.
