    Hi, I needed some software urgently-Adobe Distiller, Adobe Illustrator and 3D Studio MAX, so I checked online..I found some pirated stuff..is it safe to download it? Or do I wait and get the original stuff..?

    It is safe to say you will receive no assistance here for pirated software. Read the forum rules prior to posting again.

    Since you made it a two part question, I will not close the thread. Answer B is the acceptable answer. Wait for the original stuff ;)

    Why do you need that particular software URGENTLY?

    To answer your original question... Even aside from the legal aspects, you are MUCH more likely to get viruses, corrupted files, spyware, etc. when downloading pirated files. Wait and purchase the programs legally. You will be ahead in the long run.
