Oh FFS, Adobe (two days have gone since birthday, so resuming grump duties once more).
It looks as though any material that you upload through Adobe’s Creative Cloud service (i.e. the cloud part) is scanned for signs of IP infringement and will refuse to allow you to share content if it finds copyrighted material.
That’s just absolute bullshit. A decision, as a professional VFX post-production sysadmin, I find both ludicrous and bordering on near insanity on the part of Adobe.
If you’re a professional post-production outfit and want to use Adobe’s service to share material you’ve been working on with somebody else in the same team or even the client – that material is going to contain copyrighted material (if not your own, but licensed material – temporary soundtracks, etc.)
Adobe have not made any mention of the technology behind the system that they’re going to be using to identify infringing material, nor have they attempted to explain how it will work, how one appeals if it detects an infringement, or anything. Which is bloody stupid. As a professional, I’d be highly insulted by Adobe’s behaviour.
