     This was a good reminder for me to go and end all my business Adobe CC accounts. I've had them phased out 100% (with opensource alternatives) for a few months at this point.

     @teknomunk @Red_Hat @alex Their business work on individuals pirating their shit because they're locked into it by experience. Those people don't understand concepts of how image manipulation works they just know click this shiny button would do this or that.
     
     And those same people would work for companies which can be sued for various things. And they can't change to another software because they don't know the different software.

     @colinsmatt11 @teknomunk @Red_Hat @alex The funniest thing is that if you read the article, this isn't even an Adobe issue, they sent an email warning to customers that their (Adobe's) proprietary paid royalties for third party technologies used in old versions of Adobe software suite expired and those could face lawsuits by the third parties that own these technologies. It's a cancer inside another cancer, like a matryoshka of nonfree software legal bullshit.

     Its a threat for corporate customers; I'd love to know how much they're willing to spend bringing individuals to court - "But your honor, they just won't upgrade!"

     @Red_Hat @alex
     
     You are right that this is a threat against corporate customers and probably not (yet) against individuals.
