Hey Hyman, German GNUtian dak is well aware of very, very many convictions and voluntary pleas admitting violation of copyright for making available stuff for transmission from the IP (as in TCP/IP) belonging to the defendant. Consider: http://www.aufrecht.de/urteile/urheberrecht/haftung-der-eltern-fuer-filesharing-der-kinder-lg-hamburg-beschluss-vom-210406-az-308-o-13906.html (Ask German GNUtian dak for the translation.) I'll just mention in advance that under German jurisdiction the GPL is 100% a contract (not a statute) and that under German Civil Code statute (BGB) kids just can't enter into contracts, meaning that nobody (including parents) is liable for damages (or injunction) arising from alleged violation of contracts between kids and whomever. The law's message is "don't enter into contracts with kids" (parents must enter into contract on behalf of kids). The situation regarding violation of the statute is quite different... As of lately, you appear to me as just yet another self-serving ideologist of neo-socialist deceit a la Eben Moglen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLQiTzs8PQ4 regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
