No. As long as it's for strictly personal use, it is perfectly legal. (Granted I don't know all copyright laws in all countries, but I do know quite a few, and none I know would consider that illegal.) If you circumvent some copy protection trick to get it, _then_ you're in gray area, legality will depend on jurisdiction and various fine details. Also, if you display it _in public_, you might get in trouble with the law. But privately, to personal friends and relatives, no problem. -- Tapani Tarvainen * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
