It's no a "wrong projection", it's just a different one based on that called "GALL-PETERS PROJECTION". (We are use to see the MERCATOR projection).
It tries to reflect a more accurate vision of the world according to the real size of land because, for example, on the Mercator projection Greenland seems larger than Africa, whereas in reality Africa is 14 times as large.
You can find more information on Wikipedia
(see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gall%E2%80%93Peters_projection).

Seems to be wrong projection type/mapping (as mentioned before by macursus). All northern parts of the world are squeezed whereas southern regions appear expanded vertically. Quite unusual projection :-( Maybe Adobe likes to focus Africa and South America as a new market ;-) Or it's just about a brandnew "Exponential Scale Plugin" *lol*
Anyway – fine idea to publish it! Thanks Adobe, there might be several users awaiting free stuff like this.
