[Swftools-common] respecting copy protection?

[Nick Guenther]

Hi list,
(first: swfextractor is really really really prime. it's a precision
scalpel for SWFs (rare) that does exactly what I need it to and no
more or no less. Thank you)

Now: why does this line exist?
    if(di->nocopy) {
        msg("<error> PDF disallows copying.");
        return 0;
    }

Are you just being polite? Is there some rule that Adobe enforces
(somehow? I don't know how they'd have the jurisdiction for this) that
the nocopy bit must be respected OR ELSE? Or some combination of the
two, like that (perhaps) you afraid that if you didn't do this and a
bunch of rouge PDF "hacker" apps would come out and adobe would blame
you?

please CC me, I'm not on the list, I'm just a passing curiousor.
