ActiveDen and Activetuts: New Names, Same Awesome

Adobe, as usual, like other corporate business think that they can step on other people’s heads just because they can.
How is that the term “Flash” is a registered trademark of Adobe ?
Flash (photography) – A flash is a device used in photography that produces an instantaneous flash of artificial light (typically around 1/1000 to 1/200 of a second)[citation needed] at a color temperature of about 5500 K to help illuminate a scene.
Flash memory – Flash memory is a non-volatile computer storage that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.
USB flash drive – A USB flash drive consists of flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) 1.1 or 2.0 interface.
Flash (manufacturing) – Flash or flashing is excess material attached to a molded, forged, or cast product, which must usually be removed.
and so on… long list…
Somehow this reminds me of Microsoft suing Mike Rowe for having a software company.
Too bad for Adobe, having lots of people using a site named “FlashDen” would have been a good publicity for them.
Shame on Adobe for another stupid aggressive decision.

can I still use the flash on my camera or do I have to remove it now?

Well, you can rename it. You can even baptize it, you know, the classic way, using water

Hahaha!!

Welcome to the world of online law

wow thats sick!

I first thought it’s a joke…. but it’s ridiculous… as next we have to pay taxes to Adobe for using AIR to breathe, “oh no dude, don’t say that A-word… and also not that F-word, it’s not allowed, Adobe does own those words”

hey, could be a new Promo Vid

All those actions of copyright usual words are abusive and I feel like someone is attacking my freedom of speech.
