Is this evidence of collusion/conspiracy?

Here's a few nice exerpts...sorry about the formatting since it was pulled
from a PDF file...that they hadn't exercised their DRM ability in the Adobe
Acrobat to prevent me....


Moreover, DRM has the greatest odds of being effective if it is introduced
subtly, so as not to present an obvious target of opportunity for hackers
(who you know will crack it), but rather to convince non-partisan consumers
who are uninterested
in conflict or complexity that legitimate content is desirable and easy,
rather than challenging and restrictive. What's needed is a "sneak attack."
