No developer is legally allowed to share that code. Any code you download is either a virus or a wrapper for a crack (which is still a virus risk). 2. GitHub's security isn't foolproof While GitHub scans uploads for known malware, sophisticated attackers use "crypters" (encrypters) to hide their payload. By the time GitHub’s antivirus detects the threat, the repository has already been downloaded thousands of times. 3. Legal liability Downloading a cracked version of Photoshop is software piracy. While individuals are rarely sued, your ISP can flag your connection, and your employer (if you use a work computer) can terminate you for installing unlicensed software.
