Well, they are giving away a service for free. Except that nothing is  
ever really free. The most common saying in economics is that there  
is no free lunch. Google "gives away" its gmail to sell you context- 
sensitive advertising and to collect data. Yahoo and MSN give away  
their services to sell advertising, etc.

I think it is up to each person to decide whether it is worth it or  
not. For me, it certainly is not, as I suspect is the case for most  
people here, but maybe for some people it would make sense.

As long as Adobe is up front about the terms & conditions, I do not  
see anything immoral here.
