Some software out there is a ripoff, it seems. I forget how much it was, but some OCR software costs about $500.00. $300.00 for XP Pro, full version? Wow! I've gone to software sites like zdnet and download.com, and have seen software over $1000.00 for the full version! I would assume that the price is so high because of all the cracks, and p2p file sharing. It's a shame what we are doing when we download and copy software for free.

PhotoShop as a single user is the priciest. For multiple licensed business software like AUTOCAD or SOLIDWORKS or iFIX SCADA the prices go into the thousands for seats but luckily I never had to be the one paying for those since my employer bought them for my use.
Their prices have nothing to do with cracks or file sharing. They are related to what the maker thinks they can get away with on the justification that the buyer will save enough money by using them to pay for that high investment.
