I'ld say this sounds like BS as well. Although, if it was true it wouldn't surprise me coming from adobe. They make some really nice software, but their whole fight against piracy seems like such a load of crap. Why is it that a company can sue or jail you because you can break their encryption. Shouldn't they just use better encryption techniques in the first place. And spy ware just ticks me off. I make it a point to not install or uninstall all software that I find out contains spyware. Of course, this narrows down the software choices a bit.
