I don't know that I blame the Europeans that much (if at all). Issues like this are inevitable, given the international nature of the internet. Also, with all due respect, the US attitude is likely to seem quite strange to many Europeans. Some probably have considerable difficulty appreciating how serious the consequences of an apparently innocent act can be. The situation in Australia is not as bad as in the US, although it varies from place to place and, given certain circumstances, it could be. (I can't say for Canada.) At times, the attitudes are so contradictory as to be schizophrenic. Keith McG -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
