[ale] those of you reading this while within US jurisdiction should have a care....

[Robert L. Harris]

Isn't it illegal to read certain books in muslum fundamentalist
societies?  Rusade? (sorry, bad memory)?  We call them religeous fanatics 
and crazies for saying what people can read, write and think but now the
DMCA does it to us on a technical front?  Not sure I like where that
comparison is going.
