Then why is their download page still active, that anyone can access?? That's
the part that doesn't make sense re: copyright law. There's no logical *reason*
for Adobe to do this if they are at the same time trying to protect their
intellectual property. The page serves no other purpose than to download their
software.

It's OK to have strong opinions, but clinging doggedly to a rigid ideology--in
the face of contrary facts-- seems to be just an argument for argument's sake.
