The crux of your issue seems to be that you're deliberately ignoring that the first guy owns his software.
Which, for the umpteenth time, depends on what "with hacks" means. Because you can definitely do stuff that violates the terms of those licenses and, thus, invalidates the copy you are running. I can understand how you can view me continually referencing "hack it" as "deliberately ignoring it". That is on me for assuming reading comprehension.
Which, yet again, boils down to whether The Company thinks it is worth going after you and whether you can convince a lawyer that you even have a case.
It's not illegal to modify software that you own, regardless of what Adobe wants. That, for the second time, is the precedent we're challenging you to find.
