No, not really Mike, I see your points as valid as a point of law, but that doesn't mean I agree with it when the software is freely available at any ftp server, if they want to get at someone they would be better off getting at the developers of the software, not a distributor or end user. Lets face it, if they go after RH they should be going after EVERY ISP/OSP/ASP, or Pvt company that has a public FTP server with MP3 players on it, I don't know in the USA, as your laws are pretty much immaterial to me, but in AU you may have a very good case by claiming pursecution if they go afer you and not every other distributor, and I mean a distributor as in anyone or company that provides for free or a fee a download of the software. > I'm surprised by how many people think it is ok to break the law, Breaking the law depends on what country your in, whats law in US is not neccesarily law in AU/NZ/UK/RU/ZA and so on.... I'm not being fecitious here (I've got alot of Amercian friends) but I'm amazed at the number of Americans who think that someone in a far flung country is accountable to your laws, even with international cross agreements there are still differences that mean I can do something here that I might very well be arrested for in say Boston, where as I'm certain there are some things in Boston I could get away with that I could not do here. -- -Res -- Phoebe-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/phoebe-list
