adobe systems, inc, makers of the popular computer graphics program photoshop, announced on friday that they have compiled and submitted a list of more than 25,000 internet protocol (ip) addresses with duplicate serial numbers for versions six and seven of their product. a spokesman from adobe says "we installed what is called a 'callback' on photoshop to try and curb piracy. it essentially sends installation information to our servers upon first use." the fbi plans to work with national and local internet service providers (isp) to find and convict those responsible.
...the software is reported to only phone home once, during your idle period.
