yes, there has been som hysteria and I agree with you. I was more
aiming this at the person who thinks that in this case a blind person
who wants to read something he purchased would be thrown in the slammer
for it. I hope the hysteria does not go that far.

First, anyone who says where to get the program can be prosecuted. That
is
the whole thing about the DVD case in the US. Second, the law provides
for
prosecution of people who actually download said program. At the end of
napster they were going after people who were downloading.
Therefore, I have said what I will say. As I said, pay attention to some
people's fate. I wouldn't have said that if I planned on posting the
information on how to get the program.
