Article note: Distrust software-as-a-service. Reason 2,573.<\/div>

\nIf 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<\/a>.\n<\/span>\n<\/p>

\nToday, 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.\n<\/p>

\nThey're not issuing refunds, either.\n<\/p>

\nIt'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.\n<\/p>

\n

\n\nYou’ve charged me, when will I get my refund?\n<\/p>

\nWe are unable to issue refunds. Executive order 13884, orders the cessation of all activity with the entities including no sales, service, support, refunds, credits, etc.\nWhat about the free services I use? Am I still able to access them?\n<\/p>

\nAdobe will no longer provide access to software and services, including free ones, or enable you to make any new purchases. We apologize for the inconvenience. \nWhen will I lose access to my Adobe accounts and content?\n<\/p>

\nYou have until October 28, 2019 to download any content that you have stored in your Adobe account. After this date your account will be deactivated. \n\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
