The cloud vs humanity: Adobe terminates every software license in Venezuela, keeps Venezuelans’ money

If you live in Venezuela and rely on Adobe products to do your job – whether that’s publishing a newspaper, running an NGO, or doing design work, Adobe has a very special message for you: GO FUCK YOURSELF.

Today, citing US sanctions, Adobe terminated every software license in the country of Venezuela. And because Adobe has “pivoted to the cloud,” switching its software to “software as a service,” that means that all the software that some of the most desperate, hard-hit people in the world paid good money for are out in the cold.

They’re not issuing refunds, either.

It’s just part of Adobe’s repudiation of capitalism and the idea of private property – just because you paid for your Adobe products, you don’t actually own them.
