Companies don’t read their own EULAs
PC users aren’t the only ones not reading the turgid legalese present in End User License Agreements (EULAs). The companies themselves aren’t either. Apple recently released a version of its Safari browser specifically for Windows systems but included a EULA that said the software could only be used on Apple systems. That has been corrected but it was a little embarrassing. Now Adobe has released Photoshop Express with a EULA that the company is having to rewrite. Ars Technica comments about the EULA:
In other words: uploading photos to the Photoshop Express site gives Adobe the right to do whatever it wants with them. The company could begin selling your shots as stock photography or use that killer family pic as the box art for Photoshop Elements 7, without giving you so much as a credit for the image or a dime of royalty dues.
When we contacted Adobe about the policy, a reply confirmed that someone at Adobe didn’t think this was a very good policy either.
