Everything just gecloud! From credit card piracy and Wolkenkukucksheim

UPDATE February 13: A technician tells me Payment by direct debit is now since 14 days possible, I should call the Customer Service.
Customer: "As the man leaned far out the window that was planned for February, but was not previously started and will not start until further notice.."
DO NOT RUSH!

DATA scandal and ADOBE WARNS - nothing more

For background: In Summer 2013, there were at Adobe a server intrusion, in which tens of thousands of user and customer data were stolen. Adobe explains standardized email and - a particularly vulnerable group by mail - about on that data in circulation and now in German: steam is the shit right on. For this, the usual recommendations as "regular checking account and report abnormalities / disable map" Haaa haaa ..., thank you very much !!
I just want to not pay by credit card, but Adobe offers me yes no other way in! And then that !!

DESPITE NO DATA SCANDAL alternative payment methods!

Unfortunately, it stayed with warm words and excuses. Still no payment about by direct debit available.
Defacto was to terminate my credit card after the scandal immediately since continued use has become much too risky.

ADOBE = MONOPOLY !?

With any other product that would not matter. For example, Sony's user database (film portal / music shop) has been hacked, credit card data fell into the wrong hands.
Only there was the easiest way to something not to let happen, the termination of Sony accounts. Are still other providers of VOD.
But what do you do when you use Adobe software for years, the entire workflow is structured in their own industry on Adobe and suddenly surrounded the monopolist no alternative to cloud software ??

CREDIT CARD: THE NEXT PLEASE!

Exactly: watch data scandal follows scandal and data to move from one credit card to the next, to avoid being robbed.
I am therefore very glad that it is at least the pre-paid method. From the cloud principle to be convinced that I am against miles away!
What is this ?? Dropbox etc may well be convenient, but to save the huge project files somewhere on servers, so I also have times where else? Mind you I have to yes, then only on the local computer to download ... That's total nonsense.
I am a video producer and as a video project with all its video files, Photoshop assets, sound tracks and so on I pack my dear, in the case of the case on my USB flash drive and take them as having. I can not imagine that many people use the cloud as the Adobe advertises me.

CLOUD = BENEFITS? NOPE!

I have as a user of the CC nothing but trouble. Plus a lot of useless frills, I'll never use. Adobe sells to me as great features and flat rate, because I at a fixed price all programs, apps and gimmicks can use incl. Cloud storage. But I need still only the programs that I have previously updated each year on DVD.

Many updates more often and faster with PERMANENT new features?

After 1.5 years CC SUBSCRIPTION I have to say: It was cheap, but it has not improved. There used with almost any update a great new feature in Photoshop and Premiere. That did not exist anymore since the CC. Only many little tinkering that does not really make sense in some cases (in the programs that I use).

CONCLUSION ADOBE CC

Get Adobe: pressed back DVDs and selling us software!
Rents are not useless crap that neither you nor we can control!
Will again the innovative manufacturer of creative software instead distributor of server space and managers uncertain number Systems that you have installed quite unnecessarily and totally incorrect!
