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".
