Well, in terms of degrees of ethics, paying for an educational edition is better than not paying for the torrent of it.

For personal use, I have no ethics on software, it's too overpriced for a day to day user, but if you are using it to make money, and couldn't do your work without it, you better pay up.

It is the full version of the program it's just sold at a lower price to students and academic institutions. It will not have the full manuals that come with the regular version but everything will work fine. It is just unethical to use an academic version for commercial purposes but that's up to you.
