Or....

They own you.  If you stop paying, they cut you off.  If they decide to
charge $129 a month, you either pony up or the program goes away (  program
is usable up to 6 months after the last update... or so I read)....

Look at it a different way.... you have either a MAC or a PC computer.  You
have an OS installed on it.  You bought the OS, the OS supplier gives you
updates for free... via the WEB.. automatically.  There is no charge until
you upgrade the OS.....  and new features are added for free.....

In the early computer days, all SW was licensed,  You pay for it on a yearly
basis...  if your "subscription" lapses, then the machine is a boat anchor
until you start paying again..... that was pre-1984.....

And you know what George Orville's  message was in 1984?

Because as soon as you stop paying for it you stop being able to use it,
look at how many people on this list are using earlier versions of CS with
no extra cost since then....
