Adobe, Erik Larson, a Real Answer, Please.

After License to Display Your Online Files … Beware, Adobe’s Erik Larson assured he’s “checking with lawyers” and will be “looking into it”.  See for yourself in the comments to that post.  I’m feeling less and less assured that anyone’s actually checking with anyone.

All I can say for sure is that “Adobe Systems” has visited the site every few hours the last few days.  No additional comment — only views.  Perhaps those are the people Erik Larson is checking with? Wanna know what I think: someone’s looking over their shoulder every now and then, just to make sure this one blows over.

First ever Quick Poll:  Do you think we’ll actually hear anything meaningful back from Mr. Larson?  As a matter of fact, if you don’t think so, take a minute to write your best PR-speak follow-up line we might expect to get back from he and Adobe on the topic.  Example: We at adobe enjoy such a great trust relationship with our customers, that most of them will use acrobat with the current terms of service and simply trust us to do the right thing.  : )

(What I wish readers could see, but Erik could not see, is that I’m guessing Erik will write something very thoughtful and take the edge off this issue even before my readers get online to comment tomorrow morning.  Shhhh…)
