RE: What level of censorship ...

I'm not sure we disagree, but I'd say this  would be
more like an automanufacturer limiting the car's top
speed to the posted speed limit and requiring proof of
insurance, license, and registration before letting
you drive off.

There are lots of legit. artistic and marketing
reasons one would want to copy and reproduce money.

And, if Adobe does decide to enforce the law, are they
also going to stop me from scanning nude pictures, say
a pic of my baby-daughter ... or is FrameMaker going
to prevent you using "Al Quaida" in text because some
use of that word and associations with that
organization are illegal, etc.?
