At the CCC Camp there was a lot of chatter about it, mostly waiting for a prosecution attempt with the law since it's not been tested yet. All felt it was very chilling but nothing that wasn't expected from a knee-jerk reactionary group of lawmakers who don't understand technology. We shot a potato gun at SCO CDs to vent our frustration and increase joy however. That helped a lot. :) http://events.ccc.de/camp/2007/Hax0rcise%21 http://www.flickr.com/photos/mlcastle/1091091307/in/set-72157601319930122/ If you take your stuff to Germany, store it on an encrypted drive just to be safe (paranoid). The law isn't really that clear AFAIK so enforcement could be a real big problem. Phenoelit has already made the political statement by moving everything of theirs to a U.S. server at http://www.phenoelit-us.org/ - they didn't want to be the first test case. :) On 8/14/07, rms () computerbytesman com <rms () computerbytesman com> wrote:
Looks like I can't bring my laptop or my keyring USB flash drive of useful utilities into Germany anymore. Has anyone in the German government said anything about the concerns of IT security people in Germany about this new law? Also is there an English translation anywhere of the problematically language in this new law?
