@WPalant And we've had this discussion ad nauseam in the past: if you circumvent any protection mechanism, no matter how stupid, it's bad for you. So deCSS is basically illegal in Germany, even though this wouldn't count as any security "best" practice.

Also, programs that can be used to take part in computer crimes, may not be produced, distributed, downloaded or possessed in Germany - if it's the only purpose of that tool. So either forbid notepad or add a funny feature to such tools. 🙄

@WPalant And yeah, basically downloading Kali might get you to jail.

Yet another law that was created despite the protest of several groups like digitalcourage or CCC. Luckily, they're probably addressing it.

Sadly, they're probably addressing it. I fear the outcome - as long as our knowledge of "internet" is that one shown in the article above.

And always remember: pushing F12 is a crime as well. ^^
