Privacy policies are regularly amended, I have seen that many times. I don't want to sound like I am defending them because I am not and wouldn't want to but to have privacy policy apply to 'new users from now on' is little use to corporations legally speaking.

no,
I know you're not defending! - as I say, it's probably the first I've really looked at.
I going to go make a new email address - I mean usually for a trial they might want a name & email at most, dont know why they trying to make it so difficult
Hmmm the 'company page' (i.e. the one where you
have to fill in company details) seems to be related to my signature(!) - to get a trial of one of their 'standard' apps, you get a regular register page (name/city/email) but for the FreeHand progrmame (which they're still selling, in spite of not developing it) to download that trial, you need to be a company - I guess they dont want to make it too accessible for various reasons (you actually have to search for Freehand there - I think the only reason they selling it at all was possibly a condition of their purchase of Flash - & everything else - from Macromedia)
And as you have the foresight to have chosen to live in the EU, your local privacy laws will be pretty robust.
