Photoshop Fails At Counterfeit Prevention

Posted by timothy on from the but-the-secret-porn-filter-works-great dept.

JediDan writes "Wired reports that the 'Anti-counterfeiting provisions in the latest version of Adobe Systems' flagship product have proven little more than a speed bump, but company representatives insist that including them was the right thing to do.' Kevin Connor, Adobe's director of product management for professional digital imaging said, 'As a market leader and a good corporate citizen, this just seems like the right thing to do.' Maybe if they didn't spend R&D time and money on useless features, their products would be more affordable."

    C'mon mods...give the off-topics a break. The parent was brutally funny and the response was what most of us were thinking anyway.

    Just a thought.
