That's exactly what okular does. You can simply turn off the restrictions.

Is it really "simply" or is it "through a series of arcane steps" ? I'd imagine the best bet would be a checkbox-menuitem in the Edit menu, two clicks away at most and in a fairly obvious place.
(not saying it isn't simple in Okular as I haven't used it)

Settings (menu) > configure okular (Dialog box) > obey drm (Checkbox) > ok (Button)
That's four clicks. The checkbox is checked by default.

Yeah, why don't Debian just provide a conf file with the option checked out?
In ~/.kde/share/config/okularpartrc: ObeyDRM=false

*sigh* does nobody read the article anymore?
Okular, Debian, and copy restrictions Posted Jun 2, 2009 15:01 UTC (Tue) by rvfh (subscriber, #31018) [Link] I think the article can be read in two ways: I read it first as please Okular guys remove that feature from the code, and the second time (after reading your comment) realised that it could (should?) be read as please Okular/KDE/Debian guys set the default option to not enforce the restriction, which they don't want to do.

Did some people come over from Slashdot? It is common there to comment without reading TFA...

Really? I didn't know: never been on /.
Thanks for sharing this invaluable experience, your comment was most useful.
Also, I do hope the 'F' in TFA meant 'featured', because over here at LWN people usually tend to be polite to each other.
But I do realise that, although this did not use to be too much the case on LWN, people like to tell others off and punish them, rather than trying to understand them. I can see that on the road to work every day.

Or don't use Okular if it annoys you too much each time you have to use it on a new system. Evince does not have this problem. Likewise xpdf.

Not so simple, this wouldn't be an issue if:
1. Most users would realise there was an option
