Hello all. This topic comes up from time to time. I'm not really interested in the legal loopholes of DRM removal. The last I've known about this, it's illegal to do this in the U.S. Since this list is mainly based from the United States, I don't feel this topic is appropriate. So, let's stop this now. If you have any comments about this email, please write me or Cara Quinn off list. Thank you all for closing this thread. --- Sent from Raul's rectangular glass - 832.554.7285 Please excuse any auto complete or dictation weirdness. > On Mar 7, 2014, at 7:26 AM, Christopher Chaltain <[email protected]> wrote: > > Switch is from NCH.
