Hi Louis,

Agreed, but this problem should be minimized considerably with screen
reader's use of a technology called Trusted Assistive Technology which is
part of Adobe's interface with screen readers.  This technology permits
reading with a screen reader like JAWS but does not permit copy/paste and
similar things that lend themselves to document piracy.  Authors should be
permitted to protect their work so long as it does not unnecessarily hurt us
blind people in the process.
