It doesn't matter where the software comes from. If its use is forbidden in your country, you are not allow to use it. So it is important where the software is used.
Don't ask about new german law, cos some lawyers say A while others say B is correct. It leaves some space for interpretation, only one thing is for sure:
You are not allowed (in Germany) to use programs that circumvent or crack an EFFECTIVE copy protection, but what means EFFECTIVE in this case?
(One example: You are not allowed to copy a protected Audio CD anymore. If you have a digital out on your pc and record the tracks via this output, then save it or convert to wav, it is not illegal, cos you didn't circumvent the protection, as it was not EFFECTING your digital output, NONSENSE eh ?)
We are allowed to HAVE tools like CloneCD, Alcohol, etc. but we are not allowed to USE it.
I surely could write a whole essay about what might be still legal or what is already illegal, starting a discussion (like the lawyers' one) without a true conclusion.
It is said that german law will be modified again soon. (Stricter!!).
Willing to discuss.....
