How do companies know if I use cracked software or assets for my personal gig? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

For context, I want to run a small personal gig (offering stuff on Patreon). Nothing too fancy.

In order to do that, I would need to use the Adobe suite, Windows, some audio and video effects, all requiring a commercial license.

In theory, I start to make money. How would Microsoft and Adobe know that I don't pay for their software?

If I use some audio effects, how would their owners even be able to tell / find my work? We're talking about basic sound effect, like rain, door knocks etc.

I've always been confused by this

And Krita.
Like David Revoy

Also Blender? I'm mean if they're adding sound effects.
Sofie Jantak does 2D stuff in Blender

Also don't pirate rain and door knocks, just get them from people who freely share that sort of thing.

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

BBC also has a great sound library for sound effects.
