 Re: DMCA changes

Csabo and I spoke of this privately when I found Fantastic Four.

DMCA applies to US residents, and visitors to the US while they are in the USA. It does not apply to someone who resides in Canada or Hungary or Germany or Italy or anywhere outside the US (unless they are a US citizen).

DMCA applies to any software sold, manufactured, written, distributed, or downloaded in the US, regardless of its' original source.

Shortly: I, being a US citizen, have to follow this law... even if I'm visitng SVS in Italy! You, outside the US, are not subject to this law --- OR its' exemptions.

And as Ulysses pointed out, the law only allows for archival purposes, not distribution.
