Adobe tried to steal photos from users?
Apparently, some did not like their T&Cs when it came to their new
"online" image program. This is the thin edge here, people being lulled by companies like Microsoft to use "online" tools not knowing what these companies actually have in mind. "Ownership of things is an illusion! Give up what few rights you have!!" from dpreview.com: Adobe has announced the launch of an online photo storage and manipulation tool. The public beta of Photoshop Express marks the arrival on the internet of the probably the world's most recognizable image processing brand name. Photoshop Express allows users to non- destructively edit and enhance their images, which can be pulled and pushed to and from popular websites such as Facebook. Updated: Adobe has issued a statement about some of the application's fine print that was causing consternation. The site's terms and conditons, which appear to grant Adobe the right to re-use and license, potentially for profit, the images uploaded to public areas of the site, have caused concern amongst potential users. Adobe has now issued the following statement on its Photoshop Express forums: "Statement for Terms of Service Issues: We've heard your concerns about the terms of service for Photoshop Express beta. We reviewed the terms in context of your comments - and we agree that it currently implies things we would never do with the content. Therefore, our legal team is making it a priority to post revised terms that are more appropriate for Photoshop Express users. We will alert you once we have posted new terms. Thank you for your feedback on Photoshop Express beta and we appreciate your input. -Adobe Photoshop Express Team" |

Like streaming video. Not owning the source means that source can change at any time, on the whim of the company that controls it. |

Oh, so you're conflating online tools that allow a user to work on their IP with online media that you get to view without downloading permanently. |

Some pigs complain about the free Photoshop software being offered by Adobe. |
