But was it a good idea for Adobe to make Acrobat Reader 8.0 not view encrypted PDF and then have 7.0 say there's an update without telling anyone that 8.0 doesn't view encrypted PDF so all those people who upgraded then lost the ability to view their legally purchased content. So anytime DRM can be broken, that's a blow for comanies who really don't care about customers.
