As it becomes easier and easier to produce documents on the fly the need for "secure" features in the output product becomes less and less. That's because you can presumably backtrack to the source INSTANTLY to find out if what you have in hand is what they produce.

The quality and appearance of the final product degrades substantially as a consequence.

Seems to me the lack of finish in this device rather demonstrates that it's probably legitimately produced. Whether or not the content in the data base that it's created from is legitimate is a different question.

Dwelling on technological features of the here and now is rather nonproductive. Keeping focused on where the data for the database actually came from has been very productive. Now, who's this Lee person?
