But that pathetic legal decision in Germany has had huge and painful consequences for many, including us.
I still think we need a global challenge to any law which prevents any person from making a (legal) backup copy of his/her copyrighted material -- literally force every country to honour its obligations under the Berne Copyright Convention, which does not in any way restrict a user to an "approved" operating system.
AFAIK, you can do a copy of an encrypted dvd, for example, without decrypting it, using decss o equivalent, provided it fits into the destination media. Just copy the iso image, or the files. Decryption is need to play them, however. It is not a copy prevention scheme, regardless of what they say. But that is just one of the problems preventing having full multimedia, legally, in linux. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
