Even with free and permanent license software, isn't there a disclaimer that the maker is not responsible for lost business if something goes wrong?

Wow, what a can of worms that would be. In NZ you can't force a customer to sign away their rights under Consumer law. That is to say, even if they sign a waver, the service provider still has a duty of care, and is libel if they fall short of providing it. If it came right down to it, and enough people were inconvenienced to a high enough degree, and could demonstrate loss of earnings, I would bet Adobe would be in a whole lot of trouble regardless of whatever conditions of sale we agreed to when taking out a CC subscription. One thing is for sure, and that's that we'll never see a comment on the issue from Adobe.
Speaking of which, I had an email last week advising me that my discounted $20/month CC subscription was about to go up to $50/month. I was kind of dreaming that the rather nice Photographers bundle deal might be reflected in a lower price for a full CC subscription, but it really was just a dream. We need a Scott Kelby type champion for the non-PPS and LR CC apps methinks.
Another thought is that a year up the subscription road, it's about time we saw another major update for Photoshop. I wonder what goodies we have to look forward to?
