Feds and Adobe forbid you from scanning currency

Crazy idiots,

Yes - typical frightened, lazy corporate tactics.

I suppoze there will be more of this kind of nonsnese to come. I think that
as a protest artists could copy as much illegal software as possible and
begin a p2p network that swaps it as a protest, forming anomous
anti-corporate groups that use only software that is not bought or hired.
Thus declaring a strong consensus while creating alternative digital works
based around what can be used in a free manner, without such freedom
threatening distinctions. Disgusting people…

Does anyone else cringe when while booting up PS you get the message
that it is transmitting info to Adobe but that the information does NOT
contain personal information? "Yeah right."

I now use PS on a computer not connected to the internet. I am not
making "currency" or doing anything else illegal, but I darn sure do
not like interconnectivity I have no control over.

here's an interesting discussion about it I read a few days ago on mefi,
including a few simple ways around it–still, it does not bode well.
where's mr. lessig these days?:
