Adobe is Telling People to Stop Using Flash

Flash continues to sink away into the shadows:

Adobe is finally ready to say goodbye to Flash. In an announcement last night, Adobe said that it will now "encourage content creators to build with new web standards," such as HTML5, rather than Flash. It's also beginning to deprecate the Flash name by renaming its animation app to Animate CC, away from Flash Professional CC.

[...] By acknowledging that Flash is dying, Adobe is able to better position its animation tools for the future. Flash Professional CC is already capable of creating HTML5 content — in fact, it already represents a third of all content created in the app, according to Adobe. By taking up the name Animate CC, Adobe is able to sell Flash Professional CC as a general animation tool, rather than a tool geared toward Flash. The name change will take effect early next year.

    It can't. Not in the US, at least. The key word here is "legally", and the highest law of the land overrides normal laws and any nonsense judges come up with on the spot. There is a difference between something being legal and armed thugs demanding that you recognize something as legal.

      Well, when in jail [wikipedia.org], I guess one has enough time to quibble over the semantics of "legal".

        Proving once again that plea bargains are an injustice.

        And the Miller test has nothing to do with the constitution; it's just nonsense invented by some judges to justify unconstitutional censorship.
