Adobe made changes to the terms of use of their software offerings in 2024 using wording that granted Adobe a licence to make use of the users' created content in a variety of ways.
Background[edit | edit source]
Adobe, a computer software company that specializes in programs for content creation, editing, and publishing, has stirred controversy with an update to their Terms of Service (ToS) which declares that by accepting, users grant Adobe a "non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license" [1] to their content. This license allows Adobe to " reproduce , distribute, create derivative works, publicly display, publicly preform, and sublicense" the user's content.[1]
Consumer Impact[edit | edit source]
This controversy stems from concerns that the updated ToS may violate existing Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs), and additionally, users are unable to access their content without first agreeing to the updated ToS, leaving many users unable to retrieve unfinished projects.
While Adobe claims they do not use your content to train generative AI, Adobe does admit they may use your content for machine-learning purposes, and states that users always have the option to opt out, despite there being no option on the updated ToS-acceptance screen to decline or opt out.
