Legal Mumbojumbo

Hmm... my interpretation of this TOS which everyone is commenting on... It seems to me that it only claims *potential* ownership of your content if it is shared publicly within its services of other services of Adobe. I wouldn't imagine this extends to manipulating your content privately and exporting it to your hard drive. Of coarse I am no lawyer.

I appears that the Everywhere Girl lives in an adobe, but at least there will be plenty of Everywhere people to keep her company.

Flash Install

I just went to that site, clicked 'test drive' was greeted by a grey screen, with a big popup stating Flash Player 9 was required and a button to press and download it.

Very simple.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron Beta with Firefox 3b4 copes well with it!

Look at the terms of use

One thing worth noting is that by using their web software you give them irrevocable worldwide license to use, modify and create revenue of your pictures...

Nothing new on liscence

Look at most photo, image, video, etc upload/storage website. Once you upload to them they can reuse, edit, make money, etc with what you upload to their hearts content. I mean really if you're uploading such valuable original artwork, maybe you should get the desktop version and your own server.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
