to rent Photoshop for $20/mo, your creative projects are not your IP

How is that even legal?

    Sorry but the same article links to an update that backtracks.
    There's just no way this would ever pass without them losing all their business customers, any legality of such disclaimer aside.

    I stand corrected. Still though, it shows that they at least wanted to have this happen, which breaks my trust in them.

    They probably wanted to sell it as AI training data.

    Yes, that's kind of the point. They wanted to steal every artist that uses their software's work, and then use it (or sell it) to train AI to put those artists out of work.

    It feels like the epitome of "short term profits at the cost of long term gain". No one's going to be using your software if you put them out of work. But I guess when you're a monopoly the only direction to go is down.
