Among the most significant changes with this year’s Elements releases has little to do with new features but instead concerns the ways users purchase and own the software. While prior versions of Photoshop and Premiere Elements have been lifetime licenses — the user buys the software and then owns it indefinitely — this year’s release has moved to a three-year license term.

No worries. It’s not for everyone.

I’m hoping the dumb songs that I have that company fart out for free as jokes supporting Lemmy comments, or as backing tracks for clips of my friends and I playing Fortnite that I share just amongst our group of 10 people won’t somehow upend and displace the countless artists whose works I’ve supported over the decades via concert ticket purchases, royalties via movie soundtrack licensing, and buying official merchandise.
