Must designs created using a pirated Photoshop be deleted and re-uploaded after using a genuine Photoshop?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Using pirated software is impermissible, as it infringes upon rights. However, this does not mean that the money earned from working with it is unlawful, nor does it necessitate deleting designs created using it. As long as you have repented from using pirated software, continue doing so, and there is no blame upon you concerning the designs previously uploaded.
