GLH is on a distinguished road
When i understand right the new german copyright laws, it is forbidden to bypass any copy protection. The way you use for that is not important. And that mean not only software-ways (Cracks/NoCDs). Also hardware. My LiteOn CD-Burner is able to make perfect 1:1 backups of Safedisc2 protected cds. Now it's illegal to make a backup of that.

And thats the problem with the new law. The manufactors only have to print "Product is copy protected" on the label/box of their product, without really having a copy protection on the CD.
If you have a backup of it, you have break the law.

Or do I see that wrong?
