um ... yeah ... so?

Sorry, but (as the article makes rather clear) if you can read the document, then the file
can be copied. Adobe depends on the good graces of PDF software authors not to
implement "Save as...".

Documents and audio are "self revealing media". Since we aren't equipped with
special digital decryption capabilities in ears or eyes, there will always be a clear
channel version of the information available.

Heck - you can even place your dedicated ebook reader face down on the photocopier
or scanner - after selecting a scrolling option - and just keep pressing the 'copy' button.

I guess I figure this would only really be news if "the Mac CAN'T be used as a
circumvention tool".
