Couldn't Adobe take this to court? I thought executive orders were subject to the same judicial process as legislation. It's seems to me the smart move would be to exhaust legal avenues before shafting legitimate customers.
- dragonwriter 7y ago> Couldn't Adobe take this to court? Sure, they can take anything to court. The question is can they expect to win, such that their failure to comply would not have massive adverse consequences. Executive orders imposing sanctions under the same provision of law this order relies on are not uncommon and have been litigated. What novel challenge does Adobe have that makes it worthwhile to fight this one? > It's seems to me the smart move would be to exhaust legal avenues before shafting legitimate customers. Not taking immediate action to comply, whether or not they are also challenging the order at the same time, risks criminal prosecution of both the company and the individuals involved. And when the government seizes their license servers as part of that criminal prosecution, a whole lot more “legitimate customers” are screwed.
