Adobe Doesn't Want Money for Photoshop Express, Just Your Photos
ArsTechnica reports that Adobe's licensing agreement for using the free online version of Photoshop gives it unlimited rights to make money off photos you upload to the site.
I've seen this sort of problem in the past, and have even reported on it - in Newsweek.com, if I'm remembering correctly (the subject at that time was MSN). The problem is that many companies don't seem to read through their agreements and understand the implications. Some amount of broad wording may be necessary to cover all the things that are effectively done on the web, but, really folks, would a little final read through the copy be that tough?
Supposedly Adobe will modify the agreement, but I'd suggest holding off using Photoshop Express until you see wording you can live with.
