Enraged millions of idiots. The terms are not enforceable and do not mean they have can just use your content freely. Read them fully.
Pirate is a strong term matey. It be file sharing ya see? The rules, they be more like guidelines savvy?
AI users love this rule
WTF!?! That is absolutely fucking ridiculous. I'd absolutely pirate their shit if I was actually using it. They obviously want to take people's work and sell it to AI companies.
Imagine how many people would've just clicked accept without reading, and then be surprised when they come across their work in an AI generation one day.
The fact you can't access your files until accepting is definitely extortion, and this ransomware at this point.
…. I'll stick with GIMP
I once subscribed to adobe temporarily because I wanted to make a video and I couldn't figure out how to use Blender. It was impossible to cancel my subscription later, I literally couldn't find a way to do it. So I blocked them from taking any more money off of my debit card until they canceled the subscription themselves.
Even Acrobat acts like a virus on your computer. It downloads gigabytes worth of "installers" and keeps them for no reason, and if you delete them it re-downloads them just to keep them there. I got rid of it and now use Foxit as my PDF reader.
Just use older versions of PS that is on a disc. They cant block you out of something on a disc if it doesnt connect to the net.
Professional working with adobe for editing here! They absolutely suck, their programs are all buggy messes. We still pay for it because we need multiple PC's with adobe software, and we are too locked in to switch editing suites.. but yeah fuck em and please just pirate their shit if you can, hope they go out of business so other competitors rise up (Without instantly being bought by Adobe)
this is why we don't let monopolies become a thing.
This policy is awful, but doesn't it only apply to content stored on Adobe servers? How would they have access to what's on my drives?
I'd email customer support with an immediate consent withdrawal for automatic payments and since I'm European also a GDPR request to delete all my personal info, calmly explaining I was unable to cancel the regular way because I do not agree to the terms they force me to agree to in order to get there. That way you set yourself up for success if you later need to charge back payments and set them up to get sued if they try to make your life difficult because of it.
If you pirate, even though you're not agreeing to the terms of service, it's still likely the app will send them your data behind the scenes. The best choice is not pirating, but switching to their competition. Or even better, switching to open source.
I would literally sue them because otherwise I would not be able to update my account without accepting which is not choice but forcing. Crazy company
Shit, I've been saying 'fuck em' to Adobe since the early 2000s. The prices for their software are outrageous, and now this? Keep on pirating, folks.
I miss LimeWire.
It also looks like they can delete your content if you're not active, and they lowered the time you have to complain or dispute anything to 30 days
the fact that companies can just change the terms and the user can't have a choice of not accepting and keep using the app/game is outrageous … if i buy a car you cant just change your mind on what you sold remove the wheels and expect me to not want my money back paid in full lol.
Adobe charged me $100 to cancel my free trial
Use free and open source software.
Sounds fake. Who the fuck read terms.
Thats why i NEVER bought things from them!!!
Pirates way it is.
im all the time against pirating even if the game is from ubisoft LOL but fuck adoby get that shit for freeee
Why people pirate
Sounds like they want to use it to legally train ai in case generative ai is banned for copyright issues
This is america we have bullets, why waste our time with meaningless things like law suits
I tried Photoshop while in school and I have no idea who even uses that thing
Like somehow GIMP of all programs was better and easier to use than Photoshop, and that one is an uncooperative and nonsensical mess
And Krita compare to Photoshop is like a god tier software
this will result in a landslide lawsuit win
Proud pirate of photoshop, suck it Adobe!
Just call your cc company and tell them to block them. Sucks to suck
Screw it, at this point I'm learning to cope with open-source freeware
This is really the "fuck them" moment.
its not like people won't accept them, they need photoshop to live, what will they do ? find a real job instead of being a failed artist ? won't happen
And you know what that allows them to do? Offer AI image generation "legally" because they can use all of the users art for the AI to learn.
Later when AI image creation gets lawered they will be one step ahead.
Fuck'em.
You have to accept new terms that you didn't originally agree to – to cancel the ongoing subscription…. LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL kill me
you will own nothing und you will be happy
I had my subscription until june, now i won't renovate it, firs because it's expensive and secondly because they sould be paying me to use it instead of the opposite as they're forcing me to license my content to them
