RE: FLASH: OT: Adobe Sues Macromedia [OT]

[Ryan Creighton]

>From the Adobefacts FAQ:



>Q3: Why is Adobe filing this lawsuit?

>A: Adobe will not be the R&D department for its competitors.


(Um ... what does Adobe call Livemotion?  They didn't have a big hand in

creating the swf format.)


>Q10: What's the next step in this process?

>A: Macromedia� has to file a response within 20 days, or ask for an

extension. >It is not unusual for cases like these to take several years to

resolve.



(So yes, this *is* an obvious attempt at delaying the release of Flash5.)



>From their Website Feedback page:


>Adobe.com wants to hear from you!



Oh, they'll hear from me.


i urge everyone who sides with Macromedia, a timely release of Flash 5 and a

decent learning curve across all graphics applications to write a "YOU ARE

LAME" email to Adobe assuring them that this will win them zero love in the

Flash - nay, the computer artists and animators' - community.


Buncha wankers.
