Reprehensible & loathsome.
It's gotten to the point where i expect this sort of behaviour from info technology & communications firms. But is no less reprehensible or loathsome for being the new norm. |

Well, that's a disappointing level of stupidity.

Sadly, all this means is that Adobe will continue to spy on the content of your computer, but they'll send it over a secured and encrypted session.

Wasn't Adobe scanning a user's computer including Calibre brought up in 2011? I believe the member was told he was wrong. I vaguely remember reading something about it on here.
More than likely he was correct and Adobe has been doing this for years. |

Doesn't this beg the question if it is time to legislate around this? How many have contacted their congressman or senator?

Libraries should care about this!
My only use for ADE is for digital library books. As far as I know, it's the only way to check out e-books from my local library.
Libraries have always cared a great deal about keeping their patrons' reading habits PRIVATE, fighting legal battles to keep it so. This should really tick them off. |
