The DMCA is an intelligent legally protected domestic terrorist organization, and until the constitution of the United States of America is put back in place, you have no rights. You might as well own guns, do drugs, and use encryption if it makes you feel good, because were talking about Bio warfare and Radiation. Linux won't matter very much if this trend continues. (nothing matter's except how well your vaporized soul travels) 20 suitcase nukes missing?! hmmmm that can't be good. -- I'm a Vet! http://members.osb.net/phil On Wednesday 31 October 2001 05:21 am, you wrote:

My impression however is that the details could be available on non-US sites, since these kinds of laws don't exist yet (although I believe the UK are discussing such issues). It all sounds very unhealthy, whatever it is.
Indeed, and they are available at http://www.thefreeworld.net Whilst there's nothing actually stopping a .us citizen from downloading the information there, agreeing to the disclaimer removes the responsibility of the maintainers.

but, IANAL etc..
Funny old world isn't it :)
Yup, and getting funnier. Nonsense like the DMCA, SSSCA and whatever they think up next is just the beginning I fear.
