IP enforcements varies quite a lot across Europe. I'm being told that in the UK, the DVD situation is as worse as in some Asian countries (i.e. you can buy illegal copies of current movies on flea markets). I'm not aware of such a level of open unlicensed for-profit copying in Germany (beyond the OEM debate). We have a long history of test buyers at flea markets, and our culture is generally know for its tendency to denounce. 8-)
The things we have is (a) professional software counterfeiting, (b) small-scale movie swapping in firmly established rings for no commercial gain (c) unlicensed movie distribution at professional scale, and (d) P2P swapping. (a) and (d) are world-wide problems, and (b) and (c) do not happen openly. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
