Adobe deactivates all Venezuelan accounts

I think it's fair to say that people living in Venezuela have bigger problems than access to Adobe products.

They live in an extremely socialist country with crippling economic worldwide sanctions, massive inflation (300,000% or something like that). Their own money is worthless and most use US dollars to transact business.

Yeah, tell that to the freelancer who works from Maracaibo and uses US dollars to import the necessary stuff from Colombia, be it medicines or even food.

If I were venezuelan I'd just pirate the software and avoid this nonsense.

Realistically, that's what will happen, and thank God for piracy.
