First off i'd like to suggest you all visit www.stoppoliceware.org and read what they have to say about a pending law that's obviously being omitted from the media. Please sign the petition as well.
Anyway, I was just getting the new update for Adobe Acrobat Reader and I noticed something i couldn't believe in their license agreement... I normally dont read those but the word "Cuba" caught my eye and so i read on... Adobe ACTUALLY HAS THE NERVE to put the following into their license agreement:
By downloading or using an Adobe software product you are certifying that you are not a national of Cuba; Iran; Iraq; Libya; North Korea; Sudan; or Syria or any country to which the United States embargoes goods and that you are not a person on the Table of Denial Orders; the Entity List; or the List of Specially Designated Nationals.
i thought it was a joke at first. Don't believe me? take a look here (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1309). Reactions anyone?
