regarding the change of policies/rights forced
by hollywood & the music industry,
any OS not supporting (encrypted) DRM for
harddisks, DVD (free usage allready breaks the "law" in some countries), ..
will be illegal ??

so - when do "they" shut down multimedia linux projects,
or the kernel itself ?

when do linux move to a server in an open minded and free country ?

will any piece of software which can copy data without DRM
being illegal ?

???

what does the EFF say about this issue ?
