Now as per piracy
EA has overdone it? Why do they need to keep an always online DRM, At the end of the day I just feel EA will wind up very soon presently EA Is alive only because of BF & FIFA Series

Elaborating on the per-hour usage concept -

The concept of paying for s/w usage on a per-hour basis could very well revitalize the anti-piracy movement.
You want to use Photoshop? Fine, sign-up, add funds to your account and get your hands dirty.
As soon as you run out of funds in your account, the service saves your work, emails it to you and asks whether you want to renew your access.
You could very well refuse to do so and take your business elsewhere; you still have the original files.
Now you're not only using legit s/w, you're also free from the humongous cost of licensing such s/w and you have no need to cross over to the dark side.

Of course, you could just switch to freeware/open-source but I reckon if given the opportunity to use commercial s/w that is polished and user-friendly, people would be willing to pay for as much as they use.

autodesk and adobe software are for industrial applications, think there are much cheaper paid alternatives that perform all these operations for regular users
adobe is excessively featured, the pdfs allow video conferencing that's just overboard

Of course, but if I'm willing to spend and the aforementioned s/w (Photoshop in this case) is available for, say Rs.50/hour (for example), I have estimated that my work would be completed in about 20 hours using the traditional flow/workspace of Photoshop. That would cost me Rs.1000. And if the lesser-known piece of s/w is available for much less than a full-fledged Photoshop license, say Rs.2499, but would require me to re-learn the flow and would also increase completion time by about 25%, most people would prefer to use Photoshop and be done with it.

Buying the cheaper license could be beneficial in the long run but if you only use it occasionally , it still goes to waste.

Agreed. Most of the softwares i downloaded are sitting idle in HDD. I remove those s/w once in every 3 months. Reason my 1TB of space is still not filled up. But given an option like that for photoshop, i am gald to use that.

I bought some s/w from Ashampoo:)facepalm:) when there was an offer around 2008, and till today i have never used it more than 1 time.

This is how we fail. So Klaw's suggestion will change this.
