Which surley means if you deprotect , or offer said deprotection to anyone else in any form you are liable? So if a disk has not standard form of information , and anyone but the copyright owner creates a program to read this they have broken copyright law? So making a backup , the use of software/hardware to do this is breaking copyright law? Or am i just imaging this? Chris
