We are not sure this is going to win any hearts and minds, but there is a guy who discovered that you can circumvent Adobe PDF documents (http://akira.arts.kuleuven.ac.be/andreas/blog/archives/2006/04/circumvent-pdf-drm-with-gmail.html) with printing and copy restrictions through Gmail's "View as HTML" (http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=30719&hl=en) functionality. To make his point, he downloaded a DRM-protected PDF sample (http://www.adobe.com/products/pdfjobready/pdfs/pdftraag.pdf) from Adobe's site, e-mailed it to himself, and then used Gmail to cut & paste content from the original PDF.
