If we're going to turn on the outrage machine, let's at least stick to current news. Not something that happened 4 years ago.
We can't rearsh enough how evil Adobe practices are, they are so evil it is so hard to grasp that even if we knew we need regular remindes.
Adobe might be above Microsoft level. See, people have all forgotten about or don't know.
Anyone please make MS court cases from the 2000s reach the top 50 list. That would be news for the majority of readers, even hackernews' community.
Note the third parties part there.
For example, Adobe's previous license for Pantone colors expired last year ( https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/1/23434305/adobe-pantone-su... ).
> “As we had shared in June, Pantone decided to change its business model. Some of the Pantone Color Books that are pre-loaded in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign were phased-out from future software updates in August 2022,” said Ashley Still, senior vice president of digital media marketing, strategy, and global partnerships at Adobe in a statement to The Verge. “To access the complete set of Pantone Color Books, Pantone now requires customers to purchase a premium license through Pantone Connect and install a plug-in using Adobe Exchange.”
If you continue to use Pantone colors that were available in an older version of photoshop, a third party (Pantone) may sue you - not Adobe suing you.
So, Adobe will not anymore sue users for using old versions? This is not relevant anymore? Can you provide a link that shows that Adobe retracted of this practice?
And have you heard of this happening in the last four years? I haven't at least.
I just saw it as a non-issue as Adobe isn't threatening to sue anyone
