Can a Company Violate Its Own EULA?
Last week, Adobe released Photohop Express — as reported here on PublicRadar. While the idea seems great (they even offer 2GB storage for free), some say that this new ’software’ is violating the EULA that every customer has to agree to.
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. (Link)
Abode says that they would never do this — and that they disagree with their currently policy. This means than in the next few days or weeks we will be seeing a new EULA from Adobe regarding their products. Now that the EULA is becoming more and more important — companies are starting to look over their EULA’s more closely.
The document is long, but it is definately something you should skim over at least once before pressing ‘accept’.
