Anti Banknote Copy Rules

I've read in several places lately about the recent measures Adobe has taken to restrict scanning and manipulating banknotes in their software. I just read a piece on NeoWin.net that suggests that HP may have anti-printing measures built in as well. I think this is a good thing.

Interestingly, I visited the www.rulesforuse.org site referenced in the NeoWin piece and navigated to Canada, which brought me to this page from the Bank of Canada's website. Hmmm... I wonder how they were able to scan that clip from a Canadian $50? Do they have their own special copy of PhotoShop? In any case, the use of the image seems to fall within their guidelines stated on the page.

A person on #joiito has one of the new HP All-In-One's and he can copy and print money, no problem.
