Oh boy, Adobe. I really miss the good old Macromedia times.

@insanealec Of course there's the law. But seriously, Adobe and laws? They don't give a shit about laws. Forget it :)

I remember the time when the CS Master Collection was still available as a subscription-free product.

At that time, the Dollar to Euro exchange rate was nearly 1:1 and Adobe sold the same products in Europe at a 300-400% surcharge. Their answer: because they can. No matter where you ordered from in Europe, Adobe Ireland was the seller. In addition, the download version was 5% more expensive than the boxed one on DVD.
