Should the Apple Store be forced to sell lemons?
I have no issues in Governments ensuring fair and equitable rules are abide by but there is a fine line between that and someone being lobbied into forcing changes that consumers do not want. I enjoy buying my products through the App Store (online) and in store. I feel it is a safe place where I know I can download a product that is checked by Apple to be free (for the most part) of viruses or other nasties as I do like buying from an Apple Store knowing the product is genuine. To then force Apple to open that up to others, is wrong.

Adobe faces big fines from FTC over difficult subscription cancellation
chasm said:fishwhisperer said:Maybe costly but not difficult. You can cancel any time very quickly and in a straightforward process. I cancelled my subscription a month before it ended without a hassle. I think the first two options, monthly, and yearly paid monthly, are fair. For the yearly paid monthly I think it is fair to give back the discount. The annual subscription paid upfront should have the same 50% penalty. I don't see why it should be any different than the yearly subscription paid monthly.The industry should adopt Apple’s easy, uniform standard for digital sub modifications/cancellations. As far as I can tell, it is by far the simplest and most consistent way to manage digital subscriptions. -
Adobe faces big fines from FTC over difficult subscription cancellation
About time too. Adobe are gougers. The cost of their buggy software is astonishingly greedy. I stopped using Adobe Acrobat Pro as the price just cilmbed and climbed. I had 25 licenses but could not justify it when I was getting the whole Microsoft office suite and one drive for less than an adobe acrobat license that was buggy. Trying to cancel it was a merry go around and it felt a cheap and nasty company.
Now I try and avoid adobe products at every possibility. Greed pure and simple. If they sold the licenses for a modest monthly fee, fine but they are gougers for software that is very average. -
