Wonder when they're gonna do that for Adobe products in Europe. Has to be one of the most scummiest subscription services present day. If you cancel too early you have to pay up a "cancellation" fee for remaining time of the month, or sometimes even more I believe. If you do it too late you'll have to pay for a whole new subscription, and pay for the cancellation fee. I don't even know why they're allowed to pull that shit on consumers.
