[@NORBZMUSIC]

25+ year user, loved you until you went subscription, hated you since but put up with you. The other day I finally cancelled, your problems are wayyy bigger than these TOS. I've spent 30-40K on Adobe over the years at the various studios I was in, you're welcome, but you won't get a penny more, only save from here imo is a perpetual license option with locally ran software not having to be connected to the internet or sending any data as a default opting me into bs.

[@Corilo91]

I had the same experience, on a smaller scale. Adobe should face the consequences of being a greedy monster corporation.

[@NEILSTER666]

I cancelled last night and didn't get charged the £75 termination fee. I simply typed the following in the chat and copy pasted it to any of their responses. "Close my account and do not charge the termination fee as it wasn't clear when I signed up there would be one. I don't want any offers of free months, just close my account." I got bumped to a manager and he closed my account and confirmed i will not be charged any more.

[@anirudhkaimal5127]

But, we shouldn't have to do that. THEY need to fix that shit and we have no obligation to change for their bullshit tactics.

[@DanTuber]

if you accept the free months, it locks you into an annual sub and if you cancel that before the year, you get fined a fee

[@ExpeditionAustralia]

Did you explicitly ask photographers who submitted images to Adobe Stock for their permission to use their images to train your AI that will ultimately make them redundant? Did you offer to pay them for using their images to train your AI? If not, why not?

[@davidrabelo]

Maybe you can search on google. There's a faq with this exactly questions.

[@BN-qo5zc]

For anyone curious - The answers are: No - They only even told them after the model had already been trained. Kinda - They paid some, and it was a pittance. So little in fact they lowered their payout terms significantly for a while so people could get even that. And because they gave themselves the permission to - They used the same "improve our services" clause they mention in this video in the stock agreement, to claim they had the legal rights to it all. They made no mention of intent to even pay anyone, anything at all, until there was backlash.

[@mancerrss]

Nahhh. All your trust has been burned already. You're getting sued by the US government for antitrust monopolistic behaviors. We fully expect your eventual breaking up in the future

[@johnblair8146]

I LOOK FORWARD to a breakup of Adobe.

[@Patheticbutharmless]

Why doesn't SHE get to run the company? She seems to have her **** together.

[@AlexAnczewski]

Sorry but the section 3 is still unacceptable. Adobe is not only not sorry but they keep pushing very unfair terms of use. Nowhere does it says that the license you grant them applies ONLY to the specified cases. That means Adobe can give any other reason to use your work in any way they want and there is nothing in the terms to say otherwise. Sure, you have one person saying in the video “we can’t use it commercially” etc, but show me where is that written in the agreement. It isn’t. And what good is my ownership of my work if corporation like this has a full right to do anything it likes with my work? What benefit it is to me to be the owner if I have no control on how my work is used? That is wrong. Really wrong. You want full world-wide none exclusive license. Sure, pay me for my work. You need my permission for specific use cases that are fundamental to the mechanics of the software and cloud services. Sure! Ask specifically for that and I will grant it. I didn’t accept your services yet Adobe. I won’t. Not in this form. Be fair Adobe you earn enough ffs.

[@multimagical3137]

+1, should be the CEO Shantanu Narayen to make a clear statement

[@mihaiblojmotion]

Just canceled my adobe subscription and still use their software but form an old friend :) blocking them from accessing my internet connection. I don't want to send my data to a company that want to replace me with AI, I love what I do and I view myself doing exactly that 40 more years from now . If Adobe dosen''t come with other update that says clear they where wrong with this terms update and will remove it, I will not start again my subscription

[@Apollos2023]

But at some point in time won’t all companies do that? Kinda movie physical media is dying off in place of digital media that we don’t own you know.

[@Patheticbutharmless]

Not a good sign when in a relationship someone responsible for a decision send you a lawyer to clarify you some stuff.

funny how this happened after you OBLIGATED us to accept this to keep using your system, putting an outrageous fine to anyone who quit your services, after artists straight up QUIT working for you and right after the thievery promoted by instagram. Sounds to me you are just trying to put out a fire but your intent was always to do that. I'm switching to clip studio. You have no respect for the very people YOU RELY ON

[@dozebooster]

Oh, again with the 'customers are to blame because they are confused with the lawyer words' It was so obvious that the ToS said "you own the right to your content, but you give us permission to use them however we want, no strings attached." And then, you clearly held users files hostage by stating "if you don't agree to the new terms you can't access your files anymore" What assurance do we have that this won't happen again in the future?

[@RommyFallas]

[@konraddakowicz4077]

Probably they'll leave you off the hook right now if you cancel prematurely. Just contact them via chat and tell them to. If they won't - i would consider pressing legal charges - if they are being sued now by the government, chances are that you will go through with it.

[@ether]

Great to see all 99 Adobe board members & C-suite executives liked this video!

[@multimagical3137]

I ask with respect for the Adobe team, it should be the CEO Shantanu Narayen to make a statement. For the change of terms and for the unsubscription rules, what is happening is too serious.

[@arunps7719]

You can redact the respect lol

[@user-kb1hw2yq2f]

Who cares what that greedy CEO has to say. Why are you waiting for a statement? You should have been gone already.

[@dkeiher]

This is just hilarious to me! They have now had to roll out a lawyer to explain all these terms yet again! But I also want to comment on the quality of this video and how amateur it all looks. Adobe, you have lost the faith of millions. The love has been lost mainly due to greed and being disingenuous to your customers. What a shambles.

[@gandolfred]

The thirst for profit, control and power has killed many empires. And here comes the crash of another.

[@gandolfred]

Videos like this will not help resolve the situation. We are dealing with a situation where customer dissatisfaction has accumulated for years, and now a critical mass of discontent has arisen. The situation with the new parts of the agreement was just the last straw. Therefore, the wave of abandonment of Adobe products will increase. This could be prevented by giving people the choice of buying a permanent license with limited updates or a subscription. Until Adobe returns permanent licenses and until there is a process of quick unsubscribing without loss, the company's problems will only increase.

[@multimagical3137]

it make sense 100%. but Adobe never come back to perpetual licenses.

[@gandolfred]

@@multimagical3137 Then it's only a matter of time before most users leave them and their business goes bankrupt. The great exodus of users from Adobe products has already begun. Moreover, I think that the subscription model does not take root at all on software that runs standalone on computers.

[@ahmedronaldokahn2352]

So, that's what they said. However what they say and what they actually do, is totally different matter

[@BeastOrGod]

"Adobe doesn't own your content" "Adobe only gets to use all your content for free, forever, whenever and wherever Adobe wishes."

[@shirazigs]

You gave us a few examples, but I needed to see firm limitations, showing that Adobe does not use our work for other purposes. 🧐

[@philiporeillycork]

We updated our terms of service to make them easier for our customers to understand and now we are releasing a series of videos on multiple social media channels to explain how you are all misunderstanding them 🤔

[@KibriaAli1305]

Yes, this is much clearer, now we have trust in you after giving a few EXAMPLES of some of the updated terms. Sheesh. Nothing has been cleared and haven't given confidence in your "limited" license, still far too broad. You also said you don't use it for generative AI, but that's just one aspect of machine learning, which you have mentioned in your terms. The license you want us to accept still seems like you have rights to NDA-protected material. You say you don't track any files stored locally, but what's to say you don't track it whilst we are working on such material? Ambiguity in your favour, not happy with it. After the backlash from the community, it seems like you wanted to re-word your terms, not change them. It's like "we are sorry you users don't understand our updated terms, let's dumb it down for you without changing the terms. We will give you examples on how our sublicense works that will win you over, but truthfully, we are still using your works for our benefit, not yours." - meaning they are not listening to creatives and their customers, they are doubling down on their terms. Personally, I won't be renewing, and I don't think I'll ever come back. I'm not sure you will win back others as well with this disappointing video you've put out.

[@konraddakowicz4077]

Just here to watch the dumpster fire - thanks again Adobe for luring me into a subscription model that was NOT monthly at all, and on top of that harrasing me into opting in to your spyware. Hope you guys go down in flames for this. 20ys plus user here - but the last 7 years were really painful - the shit you pulled in the last months were the last straw. Switching to Affinity, Davicni, Krita and Blender - that can do the job as well, are not subscription based. And by now - they even surpass you by far in running stable AND run on Linux. I won't be looking back.

[@wsclesky]

Sometimes as a photographer I lose a client and I never know why they go with another photographer. The situation for Adobe in this matter is completely opposite of that. Your users (such as myself) are not happy at all with the TOS and how it all has been handled. I have been using Adobe Photoshop since 1999. My yearly subscription is up on the 22nd. I have cancelled my renewal and cancelled my subscription to Adobe Premier. Unfortunately corporations in their bid to make shareholders happy and generate profits is very much shooting yourself in your own foot in this case. You have good competition out there which is much lower in cost and without all of the headaches. There will be people at the top who lose their jobs over this. Sounds like the decision makers are suffering from group think and they will pay because of it.

[@HansJrgenFurfjord]

There are no words to describe Adobe any longer. When I'm done with the next project, I'm done with Adobe. The alternatives are now good enough and in some important ways better. Saying that as a cert. Adobe expert since 1998. When even the US government sues Adobe because they're mistreating and exploiting people like phishing call centers in India, it doesn't matter any longer what they say and what they do. By paying them, you're rewarding sociopaths who think they deserve to be able to steal from you because they think they're smarter than you.

[@PM9Video]

Which is more important, customer experience or the bottom line?

I have a question for you regarding the nude photography I occasionally do. Who decides for you that it is good or bad. I'm not talking about photos of children, I'm talking about photos taken with consenting adult models. I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to ask you. Which trains the AI ​​to accept or reject our photos at Adobe. A Democrat, a Republican, a religious fanatic, an atheist, etc. You see, it can go very far. When we send a lawyer to explain the things of life in photography, we have a serious problem.

[@ShutterTwist]

Jessica, there is no need to talk like it's a Sesame Street. This is not "easier" to understand. Readability metrics were not the issue.

"We see that you figured out our plan, but we're going to gaslight you into believing you're stupid and explain our terms of service again. We reserve the option to hold your content hostage again in the future until you accept our next update to our terms of service." So many other options out there other than Adobe now, and the other options don't require a monthly or yearly subscription or require you to give away license to use your content.

You're cute. Why is there "sublicensable" aspect to that required license? You don't need that for content moderation. It's simple as that. Btw "We don't train generative models on your content." Yeah. Two problems here: The lack of past tense. (So you probably did train it on user data at some point.) and the word "We". Even with this excuse the T&C still grants you the full rights to outsource the training part to a company outside of Adobe and license them your user's content thanks to that aforementioned sublicensability. 🙃 So once again: Why it has to be "sublicensable"? Try better.

[@PracticingPhotography]

The exampe to need a license to publish to youtube sounds bogus to me. That would be like Apple saying they get rights because I have a MacBook. That example made no sense. So are you saying since I created a video with Premiere Pro and publishied to KZbin you now have a license?

[@egidiushoneymousse5950]

if you share the video through frame IO for example, yes - that does require a license because it's technically performing the video publically. And shocker: youtube has the exact same terms in their TOU: "By providing Content to the Service, you grant to KZbin a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use that Content (including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display and perform it) in connection with the Service and KZbin’s (and its successors’ and Affiliates’) business, including for the purpose of promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service."

[@EricaGamet]

When you publish DIRECTLY from Premiere to KZbin, you are giving them the license to port that work from PP to YT. If you export and then manually upload to YT, then it doesn't apply. If Apple has a way (maybe they do in FinalCut?) of going from the app to KZbin, then they have the same licensing. Though it would be via the user agreement on FCP and not via your MacBook Pro.

Adobe spies on its users Ich nutzte Photoshop seit knapp 30 Jahren (!) und habe Adobe als seriöse Firma eingeschätzt. Das muss ich jetzt revidieren. Adobe macht nichts anderes, als seine treuen (und zahlenden!) Nutzer auszuspionieren. Überdies schreibt Adobe ihnen vor, was sie zu tun und zu lassen haben. Adobe ist aber nicht mein Kindermädchen! Ich möchte mit einem Bildprogramm arbeiten aber mir ganz sicher nicht vorschreiben lassen, was ich damit mache. Schon gar nicht möchte ich, dass meine privaten Bilder von irgendwelchen Hanseln begutachtet oder genutzt werden. Auch nicht von KI! Aktfotographie ist ein legales fotographisches Genre. Auf Aktfotos sind Personen abgebildet, die dem Fotographen (!) für den abgebildeten Körper eine Lizenz gewähren. Diese hat zunächst niemand anzusehen, ausser der Fotograph und das Model. Adobe betreibt mit seinem Ausspionieren die reinste Persönlichkeitsverletzung und greift in intimste Bereiche ein. Man stelle sich mal vor, Makita baut Kameras in ihre Akkuschrauber ein, um zu überprüfen, was man damit macht! Und wenn man etwas macht, was MAKITA nicht gefällt, dann funktioniert der Akkuschrauber nicht mehr. Das ist doch schizophren! Und was machen die ganzen Programme, die nach beenden eines Adobe Programmes immer noch hartnäckig weiterlaufen und ins Internet konnektieren?? Allein das ist ein Grund zu kündigen!

I have been a customer for 6 years but no anymore, just unsubscribed and deleted my account. I loved working in photoshop and even looked forward to finally be able to afford it when I was a teenager and was glad to be able to use when I got my first job, but now I will look into another software. I do not give you a license to MY work. I dont care what things you claim you are going to use it for, especially because we can never check if you are actually not using it for training AI and then selling that product. Believing that you are not stealing requires the customer to have trust in the company and I cant trust this company. Adobe has zero respect or consideration for its customers, I can only pray that there is someone out there with a conscience to make products that artists can use.

The last blunder was just the straw that broke the camel's back. People have been complaining about your software and pricing model for YEARS and you have done nothing to adress critical issues that have plagued your software. Instead, you've chosen to chase this new AI bubble and to turn away from the people that actually use your products. I don't care how good Generative Fill is when Photoshop refuses to work with my GPU and the only answer you find on the official forum is "turn off your gpu". I don't care how good 3D Materials and Text To Vector is when Illustrator starts chugging when I have more than 1 raster image on an artboard. Fix your shit Adobe.

[@jamphire_]

Okay, where do I begin... I've been entertaining the idea of not using Adobe for a long time now. After roughly 16 years of use, I’ve genuinely decided to move to better alternatives. It's a hard, long process to fully transition any workflow, but I’ve reached my breaking point. I know this comment won’t change anything, and I know I’m just another user, but I feel compelled to list my problems with Adobe and explain why I’m leaving. Reasons why I’m done with Adobe: 1. Software packed with bloatware. 2. Not being able to buy a version of the software and being forced into renting via a subscription model. 3. High cost over time. 4. Forcing Creative Cloud or unwanted changes on the end user. 5. Using shady tactics to make it difficult to opt out, remove, or even shut down any of their services (even closing Creative Cloud is designed to be as inconvenient as possible). 6. Having services collect data by default and pushing for more data collection. 7. Removing or intentionally gatekeeping features to force users to buy and use other products. 8. Monopolizing the industry and destroying competitors. 9. Almost no feature updates due to the forced subscription service, only adding features when threatened by other software (e.g., adding AI generative features after open-source projects like Stable Diffusion and free plugins that connect to Photoshop). 10. Having a mess of software with an outdated UI and inconsistently placed features, with some features duplicated and sometimes unfinished. 11. Buggy software with tons of crashes (worst case so far is Premiere). 12. Changing the TOS frequently to abuse individual privacy or create more ways to extract money from users (I really believe this is criminal behavior and the government should investigate the heads of the company. Shamelessly claiming they collect data to prevent things like CP is just another level of evil). 13. Claiming ownership of your content and backpedaling after users find out. 14. Lobbying politicians and the government to avoid getting dissolved due to monopolizing, or lobbying for more control. 15. Anti-competitor behaviors (e.g., having strategies in place for universities to only teach and use Adobe products, aggressive advertising). 16. Forcing users to access some features and making them cloud-dependent. 17. Proprietary formats making it as hard as possible to avoid using Adobe products in shared workflows. 18. Locking users out from accessing some content after expiration or cancellation. I have more examples for each of these points, but I’m trying to keep this comment as short as possible.

Quit with weasel words. Everything should be opt in. Not opt out. Opt out should be the default. Plus you should not be the thought police. Plus TOS should be black and white and simple for the layperson to understand. Let’s face it you thought the customer would not find out and it failed spectacularly.

How about a boycott of this evil company ?

[@pipeliner8969]

RIP ADOBE RIP

[@AndersonOlivei]

Anyone knows some after effects alternatives?

[@BLOODYHACKER]

5:11 you don't need any of those, none of those are automated it's us posting those manually so why you need all the permission??? When it's us literally pressing needed buttons?? And don't that alone mean we want it to be posted??

[@maxwellanderson007]

I am so proud that I never paid a single penny for adobe products. All pirated by me the last 10 years.

Sorry, but you really have missed the point. Where was the Opt-out button? First, it was the price hikes, next it was being sued by the FTC for abusing early termination fees, and now this. I can only tolerate so much. No more Adobe subscription for me. I'm taking my money elsewhere.

Put this woman in a suit. The plain shirt isn't fooling anyone.

0:33 Thanks for clarifying it! Appreciate you telling us that you presently "DON'T train generative AI models on your content." Now I know you only DID that when you opted us in by default before the latest PS updates. Very reassuring! 😑 kzbin.info/www/bejne/epypoYp6jtyiZ80si=A5vCy2OkstzQa5XX&t=171

Hey Jessica fellow lawyer here you don't make terms like these even in your drems because first you are charging your coustomers with a clearly predatory pricing and then you introduce these bs terms if Adobe is an intellectual property and does not tolerate pirating it's software then how come you think Adobe's new terms aren't doing the same a crime is a crime no matter who commits it if a consumer is creating anything Adobe's software then it gives you no right to maliciously use it better not talk about owning it

[@englishcyclist]

Too late, moved on to anyone else.

4.3(B) "We will not (and cannot) grant a sublicense to a third party that is greater than the rights you give us." So, you can still sublicense MY property to a third party? Like someone else who will use it for AI or marketing? I'm so glad I deleted my Behance and cancelled my subscription.

[@freddyEEE]

Just plugged 4.3(B) into copilot and here's what it gave me back "Purpose: Adobe uses your Cloud Content (such as files) for internal analysis. The analysis includes understanding how you use their Services and Software and examining content characteristics. License Granted: You grant Adobe a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to: Reproduce your Cloud Content (e.g., make copies for internal storage). Create derivative works (e.g., convert between file formats or crop content). Sublicense these rights to trusted third parties (subject to confidentiality and privacy restrictions). Limitations: Adobe won’t publicly display your Content or allow third parties to improve their products using it. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions or need further clarification! 😊"

[@JSAbbott]

@@freddyEEE Like I said - they have a sublicense to everything and can give that license to THIRD PARTIES even if I would be under NDA! I cancelled CC and deleted Behance.

[@NADNIJ]

Adobe has been super annoying since the recent updates, its buggy and the interface is so messed up, other than generative fill the updates are next to useless money grab. Im glad ppl are switching to alternatives like affinity photo and cancelling subscriptions, hope adobe will be replaced by other ai software in future.

[@rosellalee5529]

For a media software that cgi is terrible

[@creativepicnl]

I already purchased Affinity just in case.

[@DonutGroove]

the language was not an issue. We get that we pay good money to use Adobe apps and it forced their costumers to agree to a ToU that let Adobe acess personal files for whatever reason they see fit and potentially use it to "improve their products" (we know it's AI). Funny thing that you have to opt-out also directly on Photoshop app, which means it's not only cloud files that Adobe seems to has acess. Costumers couldn't even uninstall the apps or acess their clouds without agreeing first. That's very predatory.
