Well, I mentioned the issue to CSiT at UoN and to a few other contacts.
Adobe's actions are disgraceful and they need to be put down like mad
dogs they clearly want to be. I don't even remotely sympathise with this
one - they are clearly brain dead and plain stupid.

This was not a good move on their part - they get to go down in history
as one of the first major fuckwits to use the DMCA against a completely
innocent person.

I've got a few "Boycott Adobe" stickers now and if there are any left I
will bring them to the next meeting...

P.S. Acrobat has been removed from my systems, I invite others to do the
same.
