Adobe accused of analysing images for content

PEOPLE ARE claiming on Photoshop forums that Adobe is analysing images with the software rejecting those that it thinks are illegal.
We haven\'t been able to verify this yet – Adobe is in its pit of Acheron [bed, Ed.] right now.

According to the filing, people attempting to scan in US dollar bills using Photoshop CS are claiming they get error messages warning them it\'s illegal to reproduce currency.

One individual said he had no problem scanning a $20 bill, but other users jumped in to say they\'d found the same thing.

One thing is true – on the forums there\'s an image allegedly from Adobe Photoshop which says "This application does not support the unauthorized processing of banknote images".

It refers people to Rules for Use, which gives information about restrictions on using banknote images. That domain belongs to the European Central Bank.

Spyware in a $2000 program! This is new doods :D
Adobe confirms this bullshit (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=13522)

There are legitimate reasons for scanning and working with images of currency in Photoshop that have nothing to do with counterfeiting.  Images of currency have been used in art for as long as paper money has existed.

Adobe unnecessarily bent over to kiss the government\'s ass.
