Ive read a "interesting" article about a new copy-law in germany...

QUOTE FROM HERE (http://www.tagesspiegel.de/medien/index.asp?gotos=http://archiv.tagesspiegel.de/toolbox_po.php?ran=on&url=http://archiv.tagesspiegel.de/archiv/28.08.2003/716488.asp):

...nach der für die nächsten Wochen erwarteten Veröffentlichung im Bundesgesetzblatt wird das Gesetz rechtswirksam. Zu den wichtigsten Neuerungen gehört, dass dem wilden Kopieren von geschützten Werken nun ein Riegel vorgeschoben wird. Selbst Privatkopien sind nur noch dann erlaubt, wenn die Musik-CD nicht durch einen speziellen Kopierschutz gesichert wurde. Kopien aus offensichtlich illegalen Quellen sind dann ebenfalls verboten. Dieser Passus richtet sich vor allem gegen die Internet-Tauschbörsen. Und genau wie bei indizierten Computerspielen ist es dann untersagt, für jene Produkte Werbung zu machen, die den Kopierschutz von CDs oder DVDs umgehen, oder darüber werbend zu berichten....


Short english translation... (Very short one... :D)

The German gouverment has made a new law, that says that you are no more allowed to break copy-protections from AudioCD's or DVD's etc...


What does that mean ??? :scared:

Im no more allowed to make backups of my DVD's beacause it is CSS protected... ??? :eek:

Im no more allowed to save my buyed CD's as MP3 on my PC... ??? :confused:

Have I to burn all my backups next time... ??? :angry:

Have I to throw my MP3 player into trash... ??? :sly:

DONT HOPE SO !!! :devil::devil::devil::devil::devil:

When Im no more allowed to make MP3's from my Audio-CD's I would never buy one again... :angry:

Because I dont want to search hours a CD, when I just want to hear a single song !!! For that I saved them on my HD as MP3... :sly:

DAMN !!! WHEN THIS IS TRUE, I CONSIDER TO MOVE IN A OTHER COUNTRY !!! :devil:

Or get I something wrong here... ?

Bye

[PS: "burn" my backups should mean -> Throw them into fire !!!]
