How Adobe grabs rights to use your photos

There are two words how they do it : "Photoshop Express"

When you sign up for it, you agree, among many other things, to these TOS. And they aren't very upfront about those conditions but burry them very deep you have to click onto another link, scroll FAR DOWN to get to this :

8. Use of Your Content.

1. Adobe does not claim ownership of Your Content. However, with respect to Your Content that you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Services, you grant Adobe a worldwide, royalty-free, nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, and fully sublicensable license to use, distribute, derive revenue or other remuneration from, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other Materials or works in any format or medium now known or later developed.

So even when you delete your photos, Adobe still retains all the rights to it and can do whatever they want. "Derive Revenue" is a nice expression which can include selling them to someone else.

Ironically, at the same time Adobe is advertising "Adobe Flash Media Rights Management Server -- Control access to your rich media with cross-platform content protection". That comes in handy to protect the stuff they've stolen (through legal means) from their users.

Cool! Even better you have to go to the second page of the T&Cs to see this clause. That should keep the wolf from the door at Adobe.

Almost makes me glad us poot Brits aren't allowed to play with it yet.

What's next? "If you edit your picture in CS3 we own it"? Actually I may need to read that EULA....

Though very scary and informative. Off topic.
