I realise that this is getting way off topic; however I must add my 2c. My brother is doing Sound Recording. He mixes CDs and gets me to duplicate his master so he can distribute samplers. I am also putting together a photo-CD of my work for distribution. I am going to burn copies and sell them. Does this mean that the software is going to be brain dammaged so one can't make copies? I may be a minority in that this is legal and legit copying of CD images, however will this be done on the assumption that anyone wanting to make copies is doing it illegally... Maybe the US will make CD copying software a restricted munition so nobody else in the world will be able to get it :) -Mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
