Adobe Gets Hit By DMCA

Reeses writes "Adobe has asked a U.S. District court to allow them to embed ITC and Monotpye fonts in their documents, claiming "Adobe has asked the court to declare that Adobe's popular Acrobat product does not violate certain provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) as claimed by ITC and Agfa Monotype." Which is interesting after the Skylarov/Elcomsoft debacle from a year or so ago. I guess they figured that it didn't apply to them since they enforced it."

    I know my karma will take a hit for this post, but...

    I just had to reveal the new secret to getting modded up. Many ppl have revealed strategies for getting massive amounts of karma based on the content of your post, and I am here to tell you that NONE of them work. The only way to consistently gain karma is to have the proper /format/ to your post. And it's incredibly simple. Whatever the contents of your post are, always preface it with "I know this will get modded down to -1" or "This is going to be a big karma hit for me, but". And then, like magic, your post hits 4 or 5, insightful!

    Why do such disclaimers attract such karma? Why does the underground society of monkies dominate the political landscape of the moon? These are great mysteries.
