Without slagging off anyone's country and their laws (God knows the UK have such a great history on stupid laws) that is a really scary law. Doesn't that effectively mean that any discussion of reverse enginneering is illegal in Germany. I know that's not what the law is trying to do but it looks like that is a very likely side effect. have fun Marcus -- Photos : www.flickr.com/photos/marcusc Blog : marcusbrain.blogspot.com `The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs.
