Wilhelm,
Do you have a nice, tidy URL for this? I'd love to rebroadcast...
In appreciation,

First the bad news:
The European Commission has signed the Swift-Treaty with the U.S.A. that
entitles American authorities to monitor any kind of money transfer inside
the European Union and between Europe and the rest of the world. The European
Parliament in its majority was against this treaty, but under the old law
(until Dec 1, 2009) could not participate in that decision and now, however,
might repeal it in the near future. The European representatives are
presently under great pressure from the side of U.S-lobbyists, as the press
reports.
The possibility to collect and screen financial and personal data has
far-reaching consequences not only for industrial espionage, but also for
individuals.
I could, for example, get into trouble on my next visit to the U.S.if I would
renew my license for "Revolution" (happily I have done that already) or buy
some add-ons out of the Revolution mega bundle. "Runtime Revolution" might be
even worse as it suggests an immediate threat and an especially aggressive
kind of revolution.-
