The Apple Core: Adobe Revises Photoshop Express TOS Terms

If you ever thought raising a flap had no effect, then you never worked for Adobe.

Per last week's announced Adobe Photoshop Express beta, a free Web-based tool that allows users to crop, rotate, adjust, twirl, correct and show off photos hosted on Photoshop Express Express or Facebook, Adobe has come under heavy fire for its Terms Of service terms, which, among other things, included the following:

“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.”

Since the backlash, Adobe has revised its terms regarding the Photoshop Express beta. For full details, take a gander at head honcho Jason O'Grady's blog on the subject over at The Apple Core.

If you have an opinion on this or have had similar issues with Adobe's terms of service, let us know in the comments or forums.
