Re: FLASH: Ugh... Adobe is trying to block Flash 5

Now this is getting interesting. A class action suit? That along with a

boycott of select Adobe products should send a strong message. Still... I

would guess that a very large portion of Adobe revenue comes from the print

industry and they probably don't care about what happens to MM since they

don't have a need for their products.


Perhaps a petition of descent that could be forwarded to Adobe is the next

logical step? If they get a clear idea how many customers they are pissing

off, then "maybe" they will take another look to see if the suit is worth

it.
