Well, if the choise is between reading/seeing a non-original version or 
not being able to read/see anything, i'll take the modified version any day.

Just as a test, 10 minutes ago I downloaded a simple 2-page PostScript 
file to a webserver and tried to take a look at it in both Windows and 
Linux. Both failed, which was unexpected since I was counting on Linux 
supporting pretty much anything. With server conversion to say, pdf, I 
could have at least took a look at it.
