I think this is a good idea for Adobe. Maybe this will deter some people from downloading the software illegally. I only need to use PS once or twice a year, and the thought of downloading it illegally has crossed my mind several times. I haven't downloaded it illegally, instead I use it at my school's computer lab for free (besides what I pay for tuition). If I could download PS for $35 a month, I may just download it each time I need to use it and benefit from having the latest version on my own computer for a cheaper price.

Note that you only get the $35/month price if you sign up for a year. The product page says a month-to-month subscription is $49/month, which would only be worth it if you anticipate using it eight months or less out of a year.
