The Rather follies
I find this unbelievable, but Little Green Footballs reports that "CBS has altered the PDF file for their report on Memogate, to prevent copying and pasting." The LGF post is "CBS alters the report." LGF's Charles Johnson asks: "Did CBS think no one would notice?" In an update, Charles adds:
LGF reader Angel Piper reports that whoever turned off copying/pasting in the CBS documents also forgot to set a password on the files.In his post Charles includes links to the PDF file as it existed before the alteration. When I wrote about the report last night in "Prove it!," I worked from the Web version of the report with separately linkable pages (available here) that Kevin Aylward created at Wizbang. Kevin speculates here that Richard Thornburgh's law firm "is probably the culprit as they have the orginal Word documents and they made the PDFs."This means you can “unlock” the documents yourself if you have Adobe Acrobat 5 (the full version, not just the reader).
CBS: Pathetic ... and lame!
