After reading this: http://slashdot.org/articles/04/01/0...id=152&tid=185

I decided to give it a try with a 10 Euro note ... sure enough, Photoshop tells me that I'm being naughty and won't allow me to do it, fair enough, I can't see why people would want to scan bank notes unless they're going to commit some kind of fraud (or it's for some kind of school/college project) but do Adobe have the right to tell you what you can and can't do on your own machine? What's next? Perhaps copywritten materials will be encoded in the same way to stop you scanning them, I hope not .. I scan lots of brochures for customers to create site's and would rather not be told I can't do my job by a bit of software I spent several hundred pounds on.
