Yeah yeah yeah yada yada yada ... Well this BOZO here managed to scan and print both the older dutch money and the new euro using an HP scanner, HP 4500 printer and drivers from 2003. I also used photoshop 7 on it to rotate the picture about 1 degree... None of these devices / software gave me any problems when doing this. I was told there was also a protection in Xerox printers but havn't tried that out yet .... For the record, this was a test here at work, we have destroyed the (single sided) print outs since.

Hi, Last week, the Associated Press reported that Adobe has incorporated anti-copying technology in their Photoshop CS software
<snip> In your "exhaustive" research, perhaps you skimmed over the fact that anti-counterfeit measures have been in some software, and even copiers for pretty much the last 15 years or so. Their effectiveness has often been suspect, but it typically defeats the casual bozo. Such as you. :) -jim _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
