The answer

It is not permissible to infringe upon protected software programs, as they constitute a financial right belonging to their owner. Utilizing them without permission is considered a forbidden harm and an unjustified encroachment upon people's wealth. One must cease using them. As for the earnings from photographic work, there is no harm in them if the image itself is not forbidden. The compensation for the benefit derived from the software programs must be paid to their owners, or given as charity to the poor if the owners cannot be reached, while exercising caution in estimating the amount.
