Message: <blockquote data-quote="ruemere" data-source="post: 1553815" data-attributes="member: 5515">Kindly read the message I replied to again, please. The original poster alleged that the "an illegal copy of a PDF IS a lost sale, just as an illegal copy of a piece of software is a lost sale." thus opening herself to my retributive comment by making a comparison between illegal PDF and software.Secondly, note, that the "software patent abuse" part has been placed in Post Scriptum part of my message as it is only a side note, not a comment to  the message I replied. So, I do not "lump" them together... unless using a time honored way of PS is not enough for you. If it is not satisfactory for you, please ignore me and my old-fashioned writing habits.Thirdly, the extremes to which current copyright protection activities go, are most frightening to me. Tomás de Torquemada would rejoice.Finally, I am rather disappointed in the fact, a few parties involved in this discussion suggested to the original poster to follow with a legal action, yet they did not seem to exhibit any willingness to execute such actions with regard to their own products.Myself, I would not recommend a risky action to a friend (or a stranger) unless I attempted it first.Regards,RuemerePS. I have no more to say on this topic. It's easy enough to contact me privately if anyone feels the need.PS2. MrOberon, I sympathize with you.</blockquote>
