Adobe 6.1 - 7.0 Callbacks

[epic]

Adobe Systems, Inc, makers of the popular computer graphics program Photoshop, announced on Friday that they have compiled and submitted a list of more than 25,000 Internet Protocol (IP) addresses with duplicate serial numbers for versions six and seven of their product. A spokesman from Adobe says "We installed what is called a 'callback' on Photoshop to try and curb piracy. It essentially sends installation information to our servers upon first use." The FBI plans to work with national and local Internet Service Providers (ISP) to find and convict those responsible

Better watch out, you better not cry, cuz santa claus is coming... to town!

Anyone else use firewalls and get these annoying adobe signals trying to get in and out?

I did so I decided to do some research and I found that information above..

Interesting.

 

[milefile]

Finally a reason to be glad I have 5.0.

 

[askia47]

i don't even have it! so im safe.

 

[sn00pie]

I paid for mine, where's my prize?

 

[milefile]

Check your receipt.

hmmm,... 25,000 x what? $200 per? Jesh, why would they be upset?

This isn't that big of a deal,.... they need to be concentrating on busting people for distributing $3500 AutoCAD programs for nothing,... rather than this petty stuff IMO.

Pft... that's why nobody buys it. Most individuals can't afford that. I know I can't.

 

[sn00pie]

Yeah, but it's actually designed for professional design studios and webbased companies. Not the public.

 

[milefile]

So how are people supposed to learn it? That is without taking a stupid class.

 

[sn00pie]

With the help of our Photoshop Help forum, of course! Duh!

But it's not a very difficult program to operate, which doesn't mean the software itself isn't unimaginably complex! And of course it requires that artist's touch.

 

[milefile]

But you'd need to have Photoshop! Duh!

I'm sure the people who need to use it professionally buy it and then learn it.

I know! But if you want to learn and develop a portfolio without paying a school, you'd have to spend $600.00 just to have a chance. That's excludes a lot of people who would really have something to offer the world of design and/or the internet. If I hadn't gotten it from work I'd never would've gotten it.

They're going to prosecute 25 thousand people? Sweet. I can't wait to see this.

 

[Viper_Maniac]

6.1 eh? Good thing mines still 6.0

 

[epic]

I thought about this in my head.

If they were to bust everyone with illegal copy of adobe, that would cost them more money then they would make off the people I'm sure.

And I know for a fact that more than 25,000 people have it bootlegged lol

 

[Klostrophobic]

No, you're the only one.

"To say that I live in one place would be wrong. I live everywhere. I know everything. You might call me omnisciently omnipresent. Well, anyway, I live South of Boston. That's in Massachusetts, USA for all you foreigners or mentally retarded Americans"

Say Hi to Will Hunting for me

 

[Klostrophobic]

I haven't seen him in a while.

It's funny that my location takes up more space than my posts and nearly every one else's posts.

Also amazing is the fact that I couldn't fit one more leter into that location and I made it up on the fly! It couldn't have come out more perfect. Well, I would have liked to have put a period in it, but oh well.

But you've got one in your sig. You could also remove the comma between "well" and "anyway."

 

[Klostrophobic]

But I like the commas there.

 

[milefile]

As they say at Burger King... have it your way.

 

[Klostrophobic]

Yes, I, will, okay, milefile.

The above is a list of words I might use if I were to construct a sentence.

Moving this to the Computers forum...

Yeah, Photoshop is around $500-600US.

$3500 AutoCAD programs? uh oh, good thing I didn't go for Adobe products like that*runs away*

*News flash!* Adobe is the first company to have their own court system and prison system. Any unfortunate people who are caught breaking Adobe Law are sent to Adobe Prison for 50 years, 1 meal a day, 1 bath a month, and 50 geeks per cell.*End news flash*
