Adobe Creative Suite 2 is now freely available on Adobe's website.



From Ghacks:

The latest version of Creative Suite is version 6 which includes the latest versions of Adobe programs and is available in five different versions. Why I’m telling you this? Because Adobe Creative Suite 2 is now available as a free download on the Adobe website.

Just head over to the official download page to download the three disc version of the suite for Windows or Mac from Adobe. You get on top of that a pdf document with installation instructions and the extras disc as well.

Please note that you need to log in with your Adobe account or register an account for free on the site before you can download the discs to your system. The serial number is listed on the same page, so make sure it remains open during installation for easy copying and pasting of the serial number.

Update:
The download has been pulled again.

Update 2:
Someone from Adobe support posted a statement:

On behalf of Adobe Systems Incorporated ...

You have heard wrong! Adobe is absolutely not providing free copies
of CS2!

What is true is that Adobe is terminating the activation servers for
CS2 and that for existing licensed users of CS2 who need to reinstall
their software, copies of CS2 that don't require activation but do
require valid serial numbers are available. (Special serial numbers
are provided on the page for each product download.) See
.

You are only legally entitled to download and install with that
serial number if you have a valid license to the product!
