Not to bug about it but is it really worthy to make simple things harder?

If someone is able to see it in the screen, it can always copy/past it, even
if the pdf is "rights-damaged".

All that is needed is a photo/image and an OCR... which are pretty common
techniques to remake content where you lost the originals. Not to mention
for other not so lawful objectives...

This makes me remember those publishers that refuse to supply a PDF of their
books because of the "piracy" fear... And soon after, you can get them in
pristine quality form the next torrent source.

If the PDF was available, prolly people could opt to buy it.

;)
