I agree completely with Chuq on this one--it's one of the nastiest copy
protections out there, impossible (so far as I've found) to defeat, and 
just generally downright obnoxious.

If you do need a font made my Adobe, there is something of a work-around.
You can purchase a 'multiple-printer' copy of the font, for 3x the amount
of the 'single-printer' copy.

Meanwhile, there are always the Cassady laser fonts (not quite as clean,
but much less expensive, and not copy-protected in any way).
