Default Adobe Photoshop 6.1 - 7.0 Calls back

Quote:
Adobe Systems, Inc, makers of the popular computer graphics program Photoshop, announced on Friday that they have compiled and submitted a list of more than 25,000 Internet Protocol (IP) addresses with duplicate serial numbers for versions six and seven of their product. A spokesman from Adobe says "We installed what is called a 'callback' on Photoshop to try and curb piracy. It essentially sends installation information to our servers upon first use." The FBI plans to work with national and local Internet Service Providers (ISP) to find and convict those responsible
Are you part of the 25,000?! This is something to think about.

What website did you get that from? About 4 months back, something similiar was posted at YaXaY which was only a rumor, nothing more.

I just did a search.. I checked the Adobe home-site, AOL, GOOGLE, and Turbo search and nothing came up except for some Russian guy that got arrested for cracking some incripted codes on some vertual books.

I can imagine this happening, but find it hard to believe, kind of like howthe RIAA claims to have a scann on Audio Music shared over P2P, and some say they will "hunt us down".

Even if they could find all the illegal users, would they really go after them? We're talking Thousands among thousands of people.. and tons of people sueing the FBI fo going after them.

Yes, I know it's twisted, but there would be people trying to get money for being caught.

The only thing I can provide are these links:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&i...=Google+Search

A very close friend of mine told me about the program calling back,
and found a detection of something in his firewall that adobe was giving off.

Scroll down to the bottom of this thread:

In any case, real or not, I am very sure there are more than just 25,000 users that are pirating the software. Photoshop is one of the most used programs for design, aside from Fireworks and the 3D rendering programs such as Bryce and others.

For them to track down that many people would cost them more than they would save, so I would say this is just a rumor. As for RIAA, I don't personally think they have a scan on audio being transferred. The ones that have gotten in trouble are those that were with Verizon (as they had to hold back on their "tunes") and others that were sharing them, non-P2P. P2P will always exist, ever if they take away KaZZa and the other 300 programs - someone will always develop another and so on.

And dont forget irc. I dont think they will ever shut down warez on irc. Also, even if it where ture do you honestly think a warez gourp would leave it in their release?. Just look at XP corp, people have been bypassing the call backs in it even before it was released to the public.

Photoshop does call home (ZA warns me). Good riddance though; that's why I've decided to likely never sell any software because lameasses everywhere will just pirate it.
