A federal court in San Jose partly denied Adobe's motion to dismiss a class action alleging the company uses unfair tactics in its subscription terms, including making cancellation needlessly difficult. Some Consumer Legal Remedies Act claims seeking injunctive relief were tossed for lack of standing.

The broader class claims survive on the theory that a typical consumer could be misled by Adobe's subscription sign-up process, meaning the case continues.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
Anyone who has tried to cancel a software subscription already knew the ending to this one before the judge wrote it down. A company makes joining one click and leaving a maze, then acts surprised when a judge notices the maze. This is not a new trick, it's just finally getting a hearing.
