'Scheme' does not necessarily connotate little evil men 'scheming' away in dark rooms; it can just mean something akin to 'methodology'. >and violates their inherent right to break the law. It also, of course, obstructs the rights you do have to make backup copies of your media; and it obstructs the rights that a resident of Taiwan has to copy anything they please for any purpose whatsoever. What is wrong with the post is that it's the wrong newsgroup; not that he is probably trying to break the law. -- David/Kirsty Damerell. damerell@chiark.greenend.org.uk CUWoCS President. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~damerell/ Hail Eris! |___| You bought a mask: I put it on: you never thought to ask me if I wear | | | it when you're gone.
