I'll really celebrate once a verdict is handed down, but this is really fantastic news.
A central component to Adobe's subscription model is making it as difficult as possible to cancel, in violation of a 2010 law that they've been skirting for the better part of the last 12 years.
I dealt with all of the tactics listed in the lawsuit when I cancelled my CreativeCloud subscription in 2018 and never looked back. Hope they get what's coming.
