In any case, real or not, I am very sure there are more than just 25,000 users that are pirating the software. Photoshop is one of the most used programs for design, aside from Fireworks and the 3D rendering programs such as Bryce and others.
For them to track down that many people would cost them more than they would save, so I would say this is just a rumor. As for RIAA, I don't personally think they have a scan on audio being transferred. The ones that have gotten in trouble are those that were with Verizon (as they had to hold back on their "tunes") and others that were sharing them, non-P2P. P2P will always exist, ever if they take away KaZZa and the other 300 programs - someone will always develop another and so on.
