Oh... my... god...
I think what Adobe has done here is an EFFECTIVE method to stop criminals who counterfeit money

------------------------------------------------

What a crock. Either...
A) You're a government flunkie
B) You're a flunkie adobe employee
C) You're just a flunkie period
D) You have no idea what you're talking about

It is a widely proven fact time and time again that "copy protection measures" only serve to do the following
A) Become an EXTREME intrusion upon honest people whom such measures are wasted on
B) Deter the mildly dishonest people whom such measures are wasted on (mainly because they're only dabblers and don't know how to Copy or counterfeit correctly anyways and wouldn't succeed if they tried)
C) Slow down the really dishonest and determined people VERY LITTLE. New US $20 bills, probably a total of $10 Million+ spent on design, manufacture, and the massive marketing campaign. Already being counterfeited. Talk about a waste.

Being extremely generous, 10% of the effect of a copy or counterfeit protection measure goes to actually acheiving the goal, and the other 90% goes to intruding upon honest people who don't need, want, or DESERVE to be treated like criminals.
