Photoshop Fails At Counterfeit Prevention

Posted by timothy on Wednesday January 14, 2004 @04:51AM 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."

It's fairly pointless unless it can be made password-protected (so that other users can't disable it). Does anyone know whether that's the case?

Congratulations. You're the first person who's made me laugh out loud while reading Slashdot in a long time. Quite an accomplishment.
