| 174986 | 2003-09-13 09:01:00 | I wonder how far from Europe this will extend? Elaborate Bytes AG stops selling CloneCD Thursday, 11 September 2003 As a reaction to the new Copyright Law in Europe, Elaborate Bytes AG has to stop the distribution of CloneCD. The new law, which will come into force in Germany in the next days, will prohibit to copy protected media - even for private use. CloneCD will neither be available as a boxed version in the big stores nor as an online version from Switzerland. Bilateral contracts between Switzerland and most of the European countries prohibit the sale from Switzerland to the respective countries. Elaborate Bytes AG will sell the rights of CloneCD to SlySoft, a company located on Antigua. Only the online version of CloneCD will be available for sale on the Internet. The price will approximately stay the same and the clients of Elaborate Bytes will keep their one-year free update rights. Cheers,Kiwitas,;-) |

| 174988 | 2003-09-14 01:25:00 | next we will get the ruling that having a cd writer which allows you to make copies of software/music etc is bad and you will be "dealt with" purely because you have a cd/dvd writer... or maybe the music/software industry will just get microsoft to stop it at the os level.... or you can just wait for "trusted computing" or palladium ( or what ever its called now ) to let you know what you can do with your computer... :) |
