What is the ruling on downloading programs like Photoshop for free from the internet, knowing that they are sold at exorbitant prices and cannot be purchased due to their unavailability and high cost, and does the producing company prohibit this use?

Displaying and copying pirated programs is not permissible due to their high price, because intellectual property rights belong to their owners and it is not permissible to infringe upon them. Some scholars have permitted copying them for personal use only when needed, not for commercial purposes.
