In case anyone doubts, I have here a "disc" that I can't play in any of my devices. Why? Because it's been corrupted in order to prevent my access to this work in a lawfull way, just because I could use that access to distribute unlawful copies. If I dare use a dark felt tip pen to circunvent this procedure, I'm violating the EUCD. For all intents and purposes, the government is censoring this article from me. Rui
