I don't think this is as egregious as this person seems to think. A 1 year commitment paid in monthly installments, is exactly how a lease works.

- wpietri 5y agoThere are good reasons for leases to have minimum terms: a landlord has significant fixed costs around turnovers. That does not apply at all in the case of Adobe. It's just a hack to make their price gouging look more reasonable.
- tqi 5y agoThat's why they have minimum terms, but not why they charge rent monthly and not as a lump sum at the start of the lease. They do that for the same reason Adobe created this billing scheme.
- dustypotato 5y ago> "Should you cancel after 14 days, you'll be charged a lump sum of 50% of your remaining contractual obligation and your service will continue until the end of the month's billing period" Is basically hidden. So if you forget to cancel the subscription by the end of the 7-day trial, you end up paying 50% of the annual subscription from what I understand from the website
