Not only is that called "cheating", it's also called "stealing".  Besides, 
you need the original version serial number to install the upgrade. 
Therefore, whenever you went to the Adobe site, it would think you 
were your buddy, etc. etc. You made a good decision by not doing 
that.

Anyone who sells old or used copies of software is "supposed" to 
destroy all of their backup copies, completely remove it from their 
machine and supply you with the correct original serial number.  
They cannot then use that same serial number for an upgrade. (ie: 
buy the upgrade then sell you their old version) Anyone selling on 
ebay that does not do this is also breaking the rules.
