Is this really the text? Either I read this wrong, or the text is incredibly wrong in expressing its apparent intention. What I read is that *copyright owner* is being restricted here, and not a "user". How: the measure prevents, restricts or limits ((the exercise of) a right of) a copyright owner)... So either I can't read (which I don't believe), the lawmakers cannot write (I am more inclined to believe that), or the rules of language in laws is different (that is true no matter what, in my experience). -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert - rhialto@ --Soep van de dag, wat zal dat zijn \X/ xs4all.nl --wat kan dat wezen, beter maar het ergste vrezen -Boy Bensdorp --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
