Yes, but there must be no link from Freevo's homepage to the brazilian web site hosting the binaries, because that would be ``publishing a way to get around the copy protection systems''. And if we don't give the end-users an easy and straightforward way to download the binaries, they will not be happy. One solution would be to move the entire project to Brazil, and reset the freevo.org domain to the brasilian server. The CVS could be still hosted on SourceForge, but the releases and the runtime would be in Brazil. And there must be no link from SourceForge *to* Brazil (the reverse might be allowed, though). Disclaimer: this was just an idea, I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know it it would be completely legal. Anyway, if RIAA, MPAA & friends want to sue the Freevo project, the fact that it is not hosted in U.S. will probably make not much of a difference. I suppose the U.S. government has some power in Brazil the same way it has in Europe...
