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

Definitely depends on the size of the firm you’re doing work for, but if you’re doing 3D scans and digital compositing, you’re probably deeling with a top 20 revenue firm with high legal exposure.
Architecture is a particular field, project costs are often in the hundreds of millions and are highly competitive. I wouldn’t draw a comparison between that, and say, a Kickstarter campaign. But it’s definitely possible to be approached to prove ownership over your tools, so I guess OP should tread lightly.
