to do that) are *not* copyright rules, nor is the act of circumventionnecessarily an infringement of a copyright. It may *also* be an infringement or lead to one, depending on what is used to defeat the copy protection and
what's done with the unprotected work, but that is a separate claim. {Jonathan} ------------------- Prof. Jonathan I.
