Re: Classic Trains on CD
Magazines are not photos. I have issues of MRH (a FREE online publication with photos) that are 300 Megabytes each in size, and they are PDF files. Kalmbach could EASILY insert new advertising material into old issues of magazines if they were really worried about copying and sharing PDF files. Advertisers pay for eyeballs, so they'd be more than happy if people cheated, and probably spend enough to more than cover the scanning and distribution costs - Just as they do for MRH and others. ALL methods of digital copy protection can ALL be defeated. After all, software engineers understand how it works, and them who create these methods will know how to get around them. The days of selling paper copies of the same image over and over and over are drawing to a close. Besides which, inks and paper are bad for the environment. :-) Tim O'Connor

This is an issue with digital images - people *WILL* copy, share and post on the internet. They have since the inception (which is one reason Microsoft's process is so convoluted and pricey now). They will also copy & share things that were specifically and explicitly forbidden by the license they signed (same). --
