Imperial Entanglements
I don't think this story on Adobe inserting government code into Photoshop has been given the publicity it deserves.
First, I need to disclose that I don't use Adobe products (except for Acrobat which is required at work). I don't use them because of their corporate culture that views their customers as criminals.
So it is not out of character for them to add code from BigBrother(tm) to ensure that you vill obey der rules. Honest people, of course, are not worried about having a private company partner with TheGreatSatan(tm) to monitor what you are doing with the software you purchased. Honest people are not concerned that TheBlackHelicopters(tm) can insert other code into programs to ensure the safety of OurHomeland(tm).
It's only the bad guys who would get upset about having what amounts to spyware running on their computers monitoring what you do so that you won't do anything wrong.
