Photoshop wanted

I do not, nor do I want to study EULA's, but have read more than a few times that under the 'first sale' doctrine in copyright law that once a 'qualified' buyer purchases an educational license piece of software, they can sell it to whomever they want.   Unfortunately, in practice, the agreement you make to install says you are a licensee, and not an owner.  So while you may have bought the program and  own the media the program comes on, you have no rights to the program.  Makes even less sense than most copyright law.   

Our friends up north are far more fortunate than we in the US as far as copyright and EULA consumer protections go...  not sure how those license agreements fit into their system.

I think it's the same with music CD's; you can't just make copies and distribute them...

That is true--I guess my point was, the 'First sale' doctrine that applies to music and video does NOT apply to software with a EULA (end user license agreement) you agree to.  If they do not allow your transfer of the software, you can get sued for transferring the software.  The difference lies in accepting a EULA, vs. a CD, tape, record, etc. that has no associated agreement.  I believe there was a case involving Autodesk where they defended their right to 'tiered' distribution through the EULA.

Might be changing with digital video and audio.  You could have a EULA in order to access digital downloads, they could stipulate whatever they want--i.e. we can delete your files remotely because of all those pages of crap you didn't read when you installed/opened the package.

I stand corrected!

Can I use my Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software for commercial use?

Yes. You may purchase a Student and Teacher Edition for personal as well as commercial use.




so as long as it is on a personal computer, it is OK. That does make a big difference!

thanx for that link!
