[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4749833, member: 710"] So you mean the ratio is even worse? DRM that makes legal use of a PDF even more difficult than the illegal use is not the way to go. But I am afraid it might go into a direction they indeed intend to go, except that it won't be a PDF format. They might use the DDI, a different format, and maybe some online-communication aspect to it. Of course, that still reduces the usability. I know that Microsofts XPS format (their equivalent to PDF) does also contain DRM functions, but I have no clue wether it has anything that PDF doesn't also have. --- Edit: I am not sure what's the point of asking for an interview and than taking the information they actually give and assume it's a lie? Why do you even ask if you don't believe any of what they say? How are you even able to talk meaningful about an interview if you assume it might all be lying and deception. In the end, you will just be reading in the interview what you already believed to know, regardless whether the content comfirms your belief or violates it. [/QUOTE]
