In my country, what Adobe is doing is punishable by imprisonment for a period of 6 months to 8 years. Yet, for some reason, they operate in this market without the slightest problem.

“Whoever, with the intention of obtaining financial gain, causes another person to enter into a financially disadvantageous arrangement, or otherwise dispose of their own or someone else’s assets, by means of deception, or by exploiting a mistake or their inability to understand the nature of the action undertaken, shall be liable to imprisonment for a period of 6 months to 8 years”

That sounds like a huge stretch.

How exactly? They lead people into signing a one-year contract without any possibility of withdrawal by misleading customers into believing it's a monthly subscription. Personally, I know two people who had to block their payment cards through their banks because it was otherwise impossible to cancel their Adobe subscription.
