Wasn't there another exception if the game(s) is(/are) part of some bigger software bundle, i.e. a linux distribution? regards, Holger pgpvTnB7KcRja.pgp Description: PGP signature

Law tends to be technology-neutral, which has obvious benefits (and
some downsides). What's causing people headaches is not a
technological weakness, but a legal one ("abstraktes
Gefährdungsdelikt" has tons of unwanted implications).

Huh? Distributing computer games without the necessary permission
under applicable youth protection laws is already forbidden.

planetpenguin-racer is affected as well. It doesn't matter whether
the game is violent or not. There's only an exception for mostly
educational games.

Well, a pimp could claim that as well. Keep in mind that most
security researchers aren't.
The Debian 500000th bug contest
(reply set to -curiosa to avoid cluttering up other lists. I did not found this very appropriate for d-d-a) Please remember that the Debian 50th bug contest is still opened. As I completely forgot about reminding the enthusiast crowd about this very important event, I extend the bet period by one week. For those who missed the original annoucement (I even can't find it myself, I really suck at announcing things), the contest is very simple: There are good chances that the Debian BTS will turn the #50 mark at some moment during the etch->lenny release cycle. In order to make this more fun, a small contest has been set up. The principle is very simple: please place a bet (one per person) about the day this bug will be reported. The place for bets is the http://wiki.debian.org/50thBugContest wiki page. The winner(s) will be the person(s) placing her|his|their bet as close as possible of the real moment bug #50 is reported. Bets are opened until July 22nd 2007 00:00UTC (hoping that I'll remember about closing the page). In case you care: Bug #10 was reported June 7th 2001 Bug #20 was reported July 4th 2003 Bug #30 was reported March 17th 2005 Bug #40 was reported Nov 23rd 2006 -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature
