Um, if I wanted to do this, I can do it from the CD they already sent
me... See the rest of the messages in this thread that basically say "if
you know what you're doing, those restrictions don't exist"

Now how in the hell would this not get caught?
Not allowing printing / copying from the pdf file is a stupid inconvience
to the members. I've always assumed it was just an oversight and a minor
enough thing that nobody really worried about it. If its part of some
master plan to prevent the stuff you're talking about above, its just
idiocy.
