right, it's a license violation, not a theft
i proposed a theory many years ago that Adobe purposely tolerated the
widespread "pirating" of their large collection of fonts because it made
their fonts ubiquitous, and it supported their other offerings
the subscription model is not so much about license violations, though, it's
because it is harder and harder to excite people about buying the next
version when their apps are more or less feature-complete; "death of print"
has something to do with it as well; revenue from the apps in Creative Cloud
apps was on a long-term revenue slide when the subscription strategy was
launched
