If you use Adobe products... WARNING!

Adobe has updated it's ToS to include the right to use your content and share it (apparently).

I've attached an image that was posted to Twitter with just one of the salient points:

Way overstated. Although clumsily worded in the original change of agreement verbiage.

A clarification was released. They are not interested nor can they steal your stuff.

That does seem alarming at first glance. However, after reading Adobe's clarification post, it seems they were just trying to be more transparent about content moderation practices but their wording caused confusion. They don't actually own our work.

With over a decade of at times close connection with many Adobe pro video staffers, and being on the edge of the user base with various Corporate decisions and statements, I'm quite comfortable at saying two things.

1) Their legal department has an amazing ability to make dense, dangerous sounding, and obfuscating verbiage, when trying to be "clear and transparent".

I mean, just wow. Over and over. "It's deja vu all over again."

2) The company (even with all my personal criticism of it) has no interest whatsoever in mucking with user data. For two reasons,

The first is, that does seem to be one area they have ethics I'd agree with. While I may see no reason to trust a CEO, their staffers are legitimately horrified at such thoughts. Period.

And second, their several million daily users would quickly make for such a massive data accumulation issue that how would you store and process all of it to do anything? They simply laugh about that being so far past anything their systems could handle it's a total hoot.

I've had my criticism of Corporate Adobe at times for certain. This though is something I ain't scared of from them.

Include a stupid bug, yea ...
