How is it a problem? Any bad software companies put a gun to your head to force you to buy their products on their terms?
I am an EU citizen, too, and I would like that the EU do not intervene and regulate anything and everything they might think of just for the sake of justifying their jobs...
B2C in Europe has very strong consumer protection laws, so terms must be clear and fair. People can then make their own decisions. B2B has less protection, i.e. you're supposed to be clued-up a minimum to read and understand contracts, but then people can make their own business decisions, too.

- mytailorisrich 1y agoThis will do nothing for Adobe. Adobe is a de facto standard and fiddling with subscription terms won't change a thing.
