cyangames	So, what happens now with the DRM protected CD's, etc? I'm guessing, they would in theory be breaking some form of law? -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Not a clue, and in all honesty it'll probably be repealed in a few weeks, anyway.. Most of these sorts of things usually do! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

steve_ancell	I always thought that was allowed anyway, as long as you already purchased and still possess a genuine copy.

Jayenkai	Nah, never been allowed in the UK.. Stupid lawmen freaked out about the simple things, many many years ago... -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

spinal	"The revised copying rules are expected to generate an additional Â£31 million in revenue per year." Thats the part that got them to bring about the change, I have no doubt about that. -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

9572AD	In the US it's not legal, but also not illegal to make personal copies. ...unless you have to decrypt something - then it is a Federal crime under the DMCA. What horseshit. -=-=- All the raw, animal magnetism of a rutabaga.

steve_ancell	Does anyone remember when it was announced in an Amstrad magazine, that there was a big thing about banning the Multiface II in the 1980s?. That's why I thought that you could backup what you own when the Multiface II ban was lifted.

rockford	Does anyone remember when it was announced in an Amstrad magazine, that there was a big thing about banning the Multiface II in the 1980s?. I remember that well. I already had one by then though
