That's holding me back right now from downloading an update to acrobat and trying out a pdf. I want to, but on this computer it's a chore.I'm interested in how this whole DRM issue ends up going. I've always fond patent and copyright laws for electronic mediums to be very interesting, and I'm even considering it as an area of study. I wonder how copyright laws are going to need to be changed in relation to the changing way we look at electronic mediums?I'm not for or against the DRM files, but I have curiousities of the very legality of what they do. I'm not completely certain that restricting the number of computers that can view one file (not copies of the file) is legitimate. I think that their choice is logically reasonable, but perhaps premature? I'd like to know if any of the publishers share these concerns. I want more security in my electronic books, but I think that the DRM may be too confining for a lot of legitimate use. What I'd most expect from adobe is to make the DRMs have more options for publishers selecting what kinds of security and features to apply to their documents.</blockquote>
