Why not "purchasing" a "patent" for let us say ... using glass for Windowspanes - everyone, who wants to see the sun again, would have to pay me for. BTW: since last year, it is getting better in old Germany - now we have a law against software, that can be used to break CD-copy-protection. As i see cdparanoia ripping the latest Johnny Cash and a very recent Beethoven/Abbado CD, i remember that tools like that are illegal now. But nobody dares to enforce such crudities for now... I will not, as long as you have paid the licencefees for the usage of Internetlinks, CAPITAL-letters and the "P.S."- abbreviature... bestregards zettberlin
