Yup.  Adobe has one of the nastiest copy protection schemes I've seen on the
Mac, and are one of the few companies left that won't even reconsider their
stance on copy protection.  This is the only reason why I, and many people I
know, won't even consider buying an Adobe font, even though they've got some
faces I'd kill to get my hands on.  As long as the copy protection exists, I
won't touch them and won't recommend them.

(and yes, the copy protection is LW specific and does require a new master
disk if you have to get your LW repaired, and I know at least half a dozen
horror stories surrounding this little feature).

Sigh.
