I still don't get it. I would think the internet solves the problem of distribution. If you don't have the software on your computer, you can use the internet to copy it to your computer!?
And the licensing model obviously is completely orthogonal to the execution environment.
- chc 13y agoOK, fill in the blanks: I have my InDesign document in the cloud. I head down to Kinko's to print it and I _______? (The realistic answer is "can't unless I brought my laptop" AFAIK.)
- zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC 13y agoI don't have a clue what you can do with InDesign documents or what Kinko's is, but I am pretty sure that running some software "in the cloud" is not the (only) solution. Other solutions probably would be a different licensing model or an open data format, possibly converting your InDesign document to an open format beforehand, or logging into your computer at home from someone else's machine, or in some other way using software on your machine at home remotely, or probably numerous others, most of them probably with a huge advantage in terms of privacy/resistance to surveillance over a solution where you process your own data in unencrypted form on other people's machines.
