Is that what the licence agreement says? Morally, I agree with you, but it's certainly conceivable that the licence agreement says that they do have that right.

Related to Harry's point:
This is probably too broadly political for general forum discussion, but if the lawyers among us could give me some quick citation or link, it would be helpful: What is the basis for the "right" to privacy that so many people seem think they have? Not looking to argue, just genuinely asking for my own edification. |

It's more likely it was bought and downloaded without ADE, but added to the ADE library by the purchaser. |

Kobo has stated that they cannot sync side loaded books (which seems very similar to what Adobe is doing) due to privacy laws. |

Some TOS (Facebook, Google iirc) were under close public scrutiny in Germany. The tracking/logging done by ADE4 is for sure borderline w/o an explicit opt-in by the user and/or for books without Adobe DRM. If a court would see (part of) the data-upload as not necessary for the original purpose of the software (view books / DRM functions) the unspecific TOS/EULA wouldn't help Adobe - but who knows (or who will go to court in Germany against an american firm like Adobe) ... |

They can also know that if the eBook has been modified and multiple people have the same modified copy, then yes, chances are it's pirated and/or given away. ADE cannot phone home here as I use ADE 2 and I've put the hosts blocks in place. I still have to do this on the Surface but I'll get to that before I use ADE on the Surface. |

There is no absolute right to privacy to parallel the right of free speech, which is why federal surveillance laws like the Patriot Act can exist. And that is probably why: law and order and security concerns. Last edited by fjtorres; 10-09-2014 at 02:05 PM. |

But there's no link any such confirmation of the scanning of other (ie, non-library or non-device) directories. The latest post on Galen's blog states:

I wonder if the reader was managed by ADE. It has no reason to look for books if it wasn't. It only has reason to ask you if you want to authorize it if it's not already authorized.
