Ouch, imagine this happens in a hospital with a prescription or something. It could really have some serious implications.

  Indeed, I keep a copy of my lab results for the last N years because they sometimes get lost, once through no real fault of the doctor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Joplin_tornado http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Joplin_tornado). Grrr, I'm now going to have to view every lab report that's not an original with suspicion, and make sure my doctors aren't making recommendations due to screwed up copies. Lossy compression is not an acceptable default for a general purpose device.

    This isn't even lossy compression - it's misleading compression

      It's one of the worst examples of "seamless design"[1] I have ever seen. [1] http://jim-mcbeath.blogspot.co.uk/2008/11/seamful-design.html http://jim-mcbeath.blogspot.co.uk/2008/11/seamful-design.htm...
