you could buy it from a retailer, (all over the world) or you could even ask someone with a credit card (you parents?). The reason software is expensive is because of piracy.

Flash is not a game, it shouldn't be $20 or whatever, it is a professional media development tool, its not to be messes about with and then put back on the shelf. I purchased flash 5 and believe I have got more than my moneys worth due to the extent I have used it.

You cannot justify warez by moaning about a high price tag. For what Flash is, its easily justifiable.
