Macromedia Sues Adobe, Claims Photoshop Infringes Patent

jmorse writes: "According to this article at sfgate.com, Macromedia is suing Adobe for patent infringement, claiming that Adobe's Photoshop and GoLive products violate a patent they filed in 1998. The article is a little short on details, so I'm wondering if there are other sources with more on this patent." Adobe and Macromedia have been skirmishing and counter-skirmishing over patents for some time now. The AP article doesn't say which patent Adobe is supposed to be violating this time, so just pick any random thing that Photoshop does that Macromedia might have patented and express outrage about it. :)

    Pshaw!

    If you are using the product professionally -- that is, you plan to make money by using it as a tool -- you damn well should be ponying up the bucks for it.

    You wouldn't steal a wrench set from Snap-On, you wouldn't steal a laser printer from Staples, and your sure as hell wouldn't be stealing your delivery van from the GM dealership.

    So get some morals, and *DON'T* steal your professional software, either.

    If you can't pay like the big boys, don't play like the big boys.

    agreed. If you're making money off of it, a $600 software package isn't all that horrible at all. I'm just one of those poor college students that can hardly scrape together enough cash for pizza on a sunday night, much less even afford the educational discounted prices. Hopfeully if I end up in whatever job requiring me to use photoshop professionally, $600 bucks once, and then the occasional upgrade won't be a major shot to whatever salary I'm making.
